Marie-Hélène Van Thuyne
Artist & Director
SHORT SUMMARY
My name is Marie-Hélène! :)
I am a stop-motion artist and filmmaker from Brussels, Belgium.
From a very young age, I have had a passion for dolls, miniatures and film. During my high school years, I created my first miniature set and puppet, which led to the creation of my first stop-motion short film.
My passion for animation and admiration for audiovisual productions led me to study 3D animation. However, my love for artisanal, handmade craftsmanship brought me to RITCS, where I specialized in a Masters in stop motion.
I am deeply committed to detailed craftsmanship and enjoy combining my technical skills with my passion for handmade artistry.
