Alexis was drawn to films as a child, but fell in love with filmmaking when visiting a film set with his uncle. In another life, he would have been a chef, because it has a lot in common with visual effects: it's an artistic but precise craft, and you have to deliver something that you can be proud of within a very specific timeframe. For Alexis, it's the mix of routine and unexpected challenge, as well as the constant stream of new technologies that make visual effects such an exciting field.
