About

Crafting visual effects demands as much technical rigour as artistic sensitivity. It is with that philosophy that I founded Linecraft. I'm Alexandre Rouanet, a freelance Flame Artist and VFX Compositor based in Paris, specialising in high-end compositing, beauty retouching, clean-up, conform and premium finishing for luxury advertising, cinema and TV drama.

My credits include campaigns for Chanel, Givenchy, L'Oréal Paris, SK-II, Côte d'Or and Caisse d'Épargne, as well as productions broadcast on TF1, France 2, France 3 and TMC, series such as Erica, Astrid et Raphaëlle, Camping Paradis and the feature film Les Algues Vertes.

With Autodesk Flame as my primary tool, I ensure every visual effect serves the story with seamless precision. I integrate directly into the pipelines of partner post-production studios, working on-site across France or fully remote for international projects — including campaigns distributed across Asia, Europe and the United States.

Depending on the scale of the project, I work solo or assemble and coordinate a network of freelance artists (Flame Artists, Nuke Compositors, 3D artists, editors and colorists). Either way, the client keeps a single point of contact, from brief to delivery.
