Pushing the Creative Boundaries of Visual Effects

Pushing the Creative Boundaries of Visual Effects

How do you preserve the authenticity of an actor’s performance when creating a digital double?
Is realism still the ultimate goal or has it become a narrative tool like any other?

In this interview with La Lettre de l’Audiovisuel, Léon Bérelle, co-founder of Unit Image, and Florian Croquet, CEO of our sister company Scan Engine, share how they’re pushing the frontier of digital acting and VFX.

From hyper-realistic doubles to in-studio performance capture, they discuss the tools, philosophies, and challenges that define their work, from cinematic game trailers to Cannes-selected films, and of course, the Amazon Prime series Secret Level.

Alongside global icons like Schwarzenegger, Fassbender, and Demi Moore, realism has become more than a benchmark, it’s now a creative language.

“Our goal is simple: to make it impossible to tell the difference between a filmed actor and a digital one.” – Florian Croquet
