Famestore Montreal animator Loïc Mireault gives us a tour of his WFH work-life balance.

This month, we caught up with talented Montreal-based Framestore animation wiz Loïc Mireault. Over the past eight years, he has honed his trademark skills for character posing on a variety of creatures. Mireault recently delivered Flora & Ulysses for Disney+ and His Dark Materials Season 1 for HBO/BBC, and is currently working on Fantastic Beasts 3 for Warner Bros.

My favorite colleague is already waiting for me at my desk. Very needy colleague though ... always looking for attention!

I like starting the day with dailies, setting the tone and the goals of the day, and it’s always nice to see my colleagues’ faces! I love working from home, but I have to admit that I miss the social part of working at the office.

Always good to take a small break and stalk the neighbors!

I love my standing desk. It’s my best purchase of the year.

My cat Dobby definitely has separation anxiety.

After my daughter’s bath and a good shower, it’s time to read a good story before bed. This one is a book about climbing!
