About
Alexis Jeannot
It was in my teens, when I was still a sulky young fool. Me, My brother and parents had set off on the trail of the Kungsleden, a long trek that crosses Lapland from south to north. Let's be honest, back then, hiking wasn't exactly my first passion...
​
One morning, when it was barely 6 a.m., I was awakened by a strange noise. All around me, everyone was asleep, and our bivouac was dormant. I extricate myself from my sleeping bag and unzip the tent. Clumsily, I poke my head through the door and observe the source of the hubbub. And then I got the surprise of my life: Santa Claus had just knocked on my tent! A huge herd of reindeer had decided to keep us company. Unable to share this emotional moment, I discreetly reached for the small camcorder I'd just received for my birthday. I was going to immortalize the first scene of the rest of my life. From that day on, I always knew that video would be an integral part of my daily life.
​
The years have gone by, and today I'm putting my dual training (Master's degree in Environmental Chemistry and a video-making diploma from the Agnès Varda School) to good use in my various projects with Gagus Productions. Although my favorite fields are environmental sciences, culture and sport, I love discovering new subjects and immersing myself body and soul in unfamiliar themes.
Depending on the size and needs of each project, I collaborate with professionals I meet while shooting, with whom I share the same passion for the 7th art. Each brings his or her own skills: sound recording, visual effects, computer graphics, cookie recipes...
