I first had my own Internet connection in 2002 (rather lately), after a quick try on Medal of Honor. I then began playing Counter Strike along with friends of mine, and we started a small team a year after, which nevertheless managed to win a few low-level online tournaments, but our results in LANs were never excellent. What mattered was to have fun with our friends.
I started making videos in 2003 for my own frag movies, before doing my team's. My work got noticed by "Esport-Movie", a CS moviemakers' community that was renowned by then. They recruited me on watching a video I had made at a Belgian LAN I had participated in.
Subsequently, I joined the Only-FR II project, which I co-realized with FnK. The motion proved rather successful, as many still remember it today. I carried on with the Plan-B project, a high-level Austrian team.
World of Warcraft's release in early 2005 made me quit Counter Strike. My moviemaking qualities helped me right into the Empire guild, which reached the top 3 French guilds a few months, and nobody had seen it coming.
As I noticed how broad the videomaking possibilities were in WoW, I trained on making short videos of Onyxia and of the first two bosses in the Molten Core.
I released my first 'important' WoW video in June 2005 : "Molten Core", on the game's first raid dungeon. I didn't have clue regarding the fact that I was to shoot videos on all existing raid encounters. "Molten Core" got ten times as much hits than any CS video by that time!
This new success motivated me so much that I decided straight away to realize a trilogy about the next raid dungeon, Blackwing's Lair. I went on with my own style, but I started to correct my defaults. I wouldn't want to boast or anything, but I can't stand the common videos with dull musics, screen-invading UI and absolutely no emotion. I take off all my interface (well, sorry if I'm responsible for many failures and losses of time), I use musics that feature choirs and a heroic-fantasy atmosphere, and I make sound and image come together as well as I can by giving voices to the bosses in order to improve the rendered atmosphere...
What's great with WoW is that I don't need to give myself a headache about my videos' stories. Every single new dungeon comes with a tale told by Blizzard!
I directed, after "Blackwing's Lair", a new dungeon video, "Ahn'Qiraj the Movie", in a city full of insects! It was rather well welcomed by all audiences, though the ending credits didn't get their approval.
I changed producers, leaving Esport-Movie for Games TV, and then for Easy-production with Fistor, which was rather Counter Strike-oriented. What's good with this structure is that all moviemakers in it help each other, for instance Fistor wrote my greatest hit's screenplay : "Naxxramas the Movie". Necropolis Naxxramas was the last dungeon to open before WoW's expansion, the Burning Crusade. This video reached more than a million watchers, and many people still watch it as of today on Youtube. A peculiar atmosphere, a necropolis full of creeps and undead... I wanted to make a rather "violent" video, some even called it a 10-minute trailer. The short movie excerpts I had implemented in it allowed me to strengthen this atmosphere.
My first life then imposed me a lot of change which had me pause all moviemaking for a year and a half. I needed an adaptation period to my new daily life, acknowledging my roommate's existence, my nights out in clubs and my job. I can't play WoW every night anymore...
But eventually everything came back in order, and my hunger for editing videos deterred me from abandoning everything.
I returned to my first passion, and directed Millenium's CS team video from the 2007 Gamers' Assembly. It got a broad success, partly due to a rather uncommon gunround.

I had gotten quite late on World of Warcraft videos by then, with the expansion and all subsequent updates. There were 4 new dungeons I hadn't presented yet. Therefore I worked hard for a few months to show a 30-minute video to redeem myself regarding those, called "Burning Crusade, the Movie". I was rather stunned to see how successful it got, despite it arriving rather late and after many other videos presenting the same dungeons.
I began my Millenium journey in June 2007. They then contacted me around April to invite me to Blizzard's 2008 Worldwide Invitational in Paris. The aim was to animate HP and Intel's stand. As it was my first time in such an event, I was very motivated and I decided to present an exclusive video even if it wasn't done yet, instead of showing old ones that the attendees would have already seen. This is how "Sunwell" began, a movie about Burning Crusade's last dungeon. I managed to finish the movie's first half for the event.
I couldn't tell at all whether I would reach WWI's audience where there were much entertainment and many exclusive announcements. Finally, I was agreeably surprised to see that I had attracted a large crowd around my videos, it was delightful! All those photos, signings and fans' smiles were really unexpected and flattering; it was better than all I could imagine!

I went to the Mondial du Gaming in Bercy the next week, with another mission upon my shoulders. I had to record the event with a camera, to shoot Millenium's teams to prepare a season video for Intell & Dell, our partners and sponsors.
I have two lives, just like all Millenium members. The first one has me known as Romain, a 26-year-old civil servant in the city of Metz. I hang around in clubs with friends virtually every weekend and I'm into movies and music. In my second life, I am Jack, Millenium's moviemaker, and a videogame lover.
Following this, I had a break to finish "Sunwell". But dreadful news quickly struck me : the Empire guild, which I had shot all my videos with, and I was to shoot the end of "Sunwell" with, disbanded and ceased all activity. Anyway I didn't abandon it all, and on the contrary made it a milestone, as the very last video with Empire. I got in touch with the Nihilum guild, one of the world's best before and since its fusion with SK-gaming, to finish my project (see news). They were kind enough to welcome me in their raid to film it, it was a real pleasure.
Millenium subsequently offered me to present the movie during the 2008 edition of the Festival du Jeu Vidéo in Paris with HP and Materiel.net, in the lecture room. Therefore I hurried on just to be ready for the event, hoping it would be as great as Blizzard's WWI... And it was even better! I had the lecture room for my own, and it was so full that people queued in front of it to see the movie!
"Sunwell" was now released a month ago, hitting more than 300,000 watchers, breaking all of GameTV's records during "Sunwell"'s first two release days. Moreover, I had never seen such awesome comments on warcraftmovies. Mission : accomplished!
