Antonin Waterkeyn

Antonin Waterkeyn is a Belgian art director and motion designer. A graduate of La Cambre in Brussels, he began his career in Paris as a freelance motion designer before co-founding the studio Mada Mada. He later moved to Bordeaux, where he has been living and working for the past seven years.

With 17 years of experience in animation and graphic design, he works with various motion design software, including After Effects, artificial intelligence, and Cavalry, the latter of which he has specialized in for the past two years. Since then, he has opened an Instagram account dedicated to typographic animation: @antonin.work. On this account, he set himself the challenge of posting at least one experimental animation per week. When time allows, he also shares short tutorials on Cavalry, reflecting his desire to make the software more accessible and to share his creative process.

His work has been showcased at festivals such as Demo Festival and Motion Motion Festival. He has collaborated with cultural institutions such as The National Museum of Norway and the Musée d’Aquitaine, as well as with brands like Galeries Lafayette, Christie’s, the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels, and the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at Cannes, among others. He also works with studios and agencies such as Base Design and DIA Studio.

In parallel, he teaches Motion Design at ECV Bordeaux.
