Video maker
& motion designer
I am Laura Brugier, a funny, curious, geeky, 24 year old videographer and motion designer looking for freelance work.
My education background has been oriented on concrete and practical skills.
I first obtained an Associate degree in video editing and post-production. I then pursued a Bachelor and a Masters degree in 2D animation and motion design. I chose to do my second year of masters at the University of Montreal which offered courses oriented towards new technology.
These five years allowed me to solidify my knowledge in post-production and animation. Year after year my fields of expertise have broadened, guiding me towards directing.
Because of the numerous internships I carried out on the side, I have developed a realistic view of the work environment, and eventually created my company four years ago. Since then I have regularly worked as a freelance video maker and motion designer.
Alongside, I have taken part in several non-academic projects as a technician (editing, special effects or compositing) and as director of several short films.
These experiences allowed me to develop a strong self-sufficiency. I have learnt to adapt and put things into perspective, even in difficult situations, improving my capacity to work in groups, to understand the point of view of others. My different experiences as live assistant director at the Chaillot National theatre helped me solidify my project managment skills, my ability to work in stressful contexts, and confronted me with team management, which I now consider one of my strenghs.
Furthermore, I have had the chance to live abroad most of my life. From growing up in China, to graduating from high school in Egypt, to graduating from college in Canada. These enriching experiences enabled me not only to gain in open-mindedness and linguistic skills, but also to learn to adapt and work in multicultural environments.
I am a dynamic, funny, motivated and overly curious person. Eager for all form of arts and new technologies it is from all these practices that results my interest for technical hybridization.
