Arnaud Pitois - Editor
Welcome!
I am a highly skilled narrative editor with a passion for crafting emotionally engaging stories through meticulous picture edits. Adept at collaborating with directors, artists, and clients to ensure creative vision aligns with technical execution.
I have the proven ability to translate storyboards and animatics into impactful sequences. Eager to contribute my multi-disciplinary skillset to a team of passionate storytellers within the feature animation/VFX industry. First and foremost a people’s person.
With over twenty years experience in the industry, I do what I love most: editing Animatics for awards winning Animation/VFX studio Jellyfish Pictures.

Animatics
As an Animatic Editor for Wolf King Series 1 & 2, I worked under Senior Editor Darren Millstone at Jellyfish Pictures, where I refined my skills in animatic editing. My responsibilities included receiving and reviewing storyboards from the artists, importing the radio play audio, and building the episodes from these elements. I also sourced and integrated sound effets & atmospheric tracks, and work closely with the show directors, going through rounds of feedbacks and notes from the client, Netflix.
The above Animatic is the opening sequence of Episode 13 which was so much fun to cut. One of my favourite!
Showreels
Working at Jellyfish Pictures provided us the editors with a very collaborative work environment. Part of the editor's job was to cut and produce reels.
My responsibilities included cutting monthly animation department updates, working closely with heads of departments, and producing promotional reels for example: Annecy Festival, KidsScreen, Reels for pitches and any other company-wide needs showcasing the studio's Awards winning work.
