FOR THE LOVE OF THE CRAFT ...
For over 25 years now, I have been working in the post-production field. Having always revolved around the cutting, design and packaging aspects of advertising post-production, my current field of interest is feature film compositing. With many years experience in broadcast design and publicity, my career arc has taken me from working on projects for CBC, Viewer's Choice, The Movie Network and countless other smaller campaigns for speciality networks, to major commercial on-air branding campaigns for various high-profile clients such as Coca-Cola, Coors, Budweiser and Volkswagen. Other work includes music video editing/finishing from Garou to Katy Perry, as well as high-end digital compositing for major Hollywood blockbusters such as Jurassic World and the latest Star Wars episodes.
I have had the privilege to connect with very talented people over the years, play with all sorts of toys in all sorts of ways. I love just about every aspect of post. I strive to deliver the extras that make a piece shine above the rest.

“As an outstanding smoke editor and flame artist, Jean-Marc possesses a rare talent in compositing coupled with a sharp sense of direction and technical mastery. His passion for the upmost quality and his reputation for being a hard worker makes him a demanding artist for those who don’t share his desire for excellence. Every designer, producer, advertiser or director that whishes to attain the upmost standards of quality should have the chance to work with a guy like Jean-Marc Laurin.”
