CINECLAUDE

Watch my films for free in YouTube

I am a self-taught cineaste. My journey began in the mid-60s when I experimented with silent 8mm animation films using my father’s mechanical camera. Today, I create short HD films and publish them on YouTube. You can explore my filmography and awards on FilmFreeway.

When I was around 18, my father gave me my first Beaulieu Super 8 camera. With it, I made several pixilation films, along with timelapse and animation projects. Later, I acquired an old Paillard Bolex 16mm, though I didn’t use it for long—video cameras soon took over.

These days, I work with a Panasonic AF100 and enjoy experimenting with green screens. Many of my recent films rely heavily on this technique—it’s a wonderful illusion!
