After moving to Paris, Olivier Jean-Marie doggedly laboured over life drawing classes and clumsily executed strip cartoons first at a Fine Arts School and then in Applied Arts. He entered animation in a momentary lapse of concentration and has been there ever since. As an animator, animation supervisor and director he has seen all the stages of production. He directed, amongst others, the TV series "Oggy and the Cockroaches" and "The New Adventures of Lucky Luke", before working on the feature "Space Goofs".
