Coup de Foudre
True to their name, Coup de Foudre’s work is striking, immediate and impossible to ignore.
The directing trio — Swann Valenza, Florian Maurice and Teo Frantz — combine storytelling instinct with innovative craftsmanship to push the boundaries of 3D. Their work includes Emmy-nominated collaborations with The New York Times, as well as Student BAFTA, Student Academy Award and SIGGRAPH-winning short films.
Whether crafting the heartwarming, tactile 3D landscapes of Provence in the award-winning Après Papi or pioneering technical innovations in Le Bruit du Silence — where they scanned and mapped live-action eyes onto 3D models to achieve a striking human depth — their deep technical expertise underpins a meticulous attention to detail — across character and environment design to cinematic lighting and compositing.
