FOUNDING PRESIDENT / EXECUTIVE VFX SUP
JF is the ultimate digital alchemist! He’s the great founder of Alchemy24. His brain gave birth to the whole adventure. Jafaz worked in many studios in Montreal, climbing every step at a frightening speed. In 2007, he lovingly concocted Alchemy24; starting with an essence of good intentions, bravery extract, a good dose of talent and a large sip of innocence.
He’s a genuinely passionate man. He’s a master in visual effects and he has the most creative mind for finding solutions that are both cheap and out of the box. With cheerfulness, he runs the studio, spreading the love for meticulousness to the artists, one pixel at a time. He’s swift at understanding the director’s vision, and always finds creative solutions to put them into action. With his team of alchemists, he will reach for the impossible to ensure that the goals are met and that each project is a source of pride.
Those who know him are well aware of his juggling between his volatile and solid state, going from comic to determined leader.
VFX SUPERVISOR
Alain is a master-wise. He works locked in his laboratory to elaborate secret recipes. He is often drawn from his passion by his apprentice alchemists. Although sometimes he is reluctant to, he shares his knowledge with the less experienced with pleasure. Moreover, the master sometimes comes out of his lab and gives corrections to the youngsters. He also has a well-kept secret in him; the ability to work long hours without eating, without drinking and without lifting (I mean to get up, of course).
VFX SUPERVISOR
One of the original co-founders of Alchemy 24, Sebastien has an amazing background in all realms of visual effects. Having worked as a 3D Project Manager, Teacher, CG Generalist and Compositor for many years, he finally concentrated his many talents towards FX in 2008. A few years later he became FX Supervisor. His extensive hands-on knowledge of each step of the pipeline and his creativity give him the perfect background for his role of VFX Supervisor.

Incredibly resourceful, Simon knows the wheels of the alchemical machinery very well. His eye precisely deconstructs the digital puzzle pieces, and in an instant, will provide the most constructive criticism. He possesses the meticulousness and cleverness of a watchmaker, as well as a passion for the art and the overwhelming drive of the jack-of-all-trades. Eloquent and sometimes gesticulator, he knows how to convince the irresolute and enlighten in moments of doubt. He knows what he’s talking about and it shows!

LAB VFX PRODUCER
The all-smiling M-C had just finished her class at the Grasset Institute when she offered her help for a small project. From then on, there was no way we’d let her leave! Like a champagne to the heart, she coordinates projects with her effervescent and sweet personality, letting the bubbling of her laughs fill the hearts of the troops. She’s good at handling a heavy workload with great spirit, while staying in control: which kind of makes her a stabilising agent. She is a pleasant mix of competency, lovely glee and respect for a job well done. In short, everything to enchant your digital taste buds !
