Renaud Hallée, who trained in classical music, also composes his own scores.
In fact, this talented filmmaker elaborates his films much like a musician with his instrument. Without a large team, he creates remarkably coherent systems of sounds and visuals. His films have been described as "a way of listening to music with your eyes."
Renaud Hallée is one of those Web artists who turn everything they touch into Internet gold. His first three films, Sonar (2009), Gravity (2009) and Combustion (2011) – produced independently by his production company Possible Metrics – were all selected as Staff Pick by Vimeo’s editorial team. Since then, each film has racked up hundreds of thousands of views, for a total of nearly 2 million views to date… and counting.
