The studio
A creative studio, run as a collective of artists
Founded in 2020 in Montpellier, France, by Sébastien Chort and Grégory Jennings, both former lighting artists and supervisors at Blur Studio, DreamWorks, Framestore and The Mill. Our 30 artists are seasoned lighters first, most with a second craft: environment modeling, compositing, previs or FX. The whole team works on site in our secure studio, and as a worker-owned cooperative we share profits, ensuring stable teams and full involvement in the success of our partnerships.

Beyond outsourcing · Full production
From brief to final frame: a 90-second teaser in Unreal Engine
On a tight deadline, we leaned into real-time rendering with Blender, Unreal Engine and DaVinci Resolve.
01
Assets built in Blender; Unreal handled the whole production, rigging and animation included
02
Concept-driven look, with camera-projected textures on sets.
03
Mocap shot in Montpellier, live-streamed into Unreal for instant feedback on cameras and blocking
04
Versioning that let several artists work on shots simultaneously, so lighting started while layouts still moved

Takeaway
Beyond outsourcing, Nobody Studio can deliver short teasers and trailers up to 3 minutes, with limited character work, handling the work from start to finish.

Characters built and textured from the concepts
No camera projection here: each character was modeled and textured to match its concept, so it holds from any angle, shot after shot.
