Created in Luxembourg in early 1997 by Stephan Roelants, Studio 352 has become today one of the oldest animation studios in Europe.The company is built on a fixed and multi-talented team made up of about forty staffs brought together to generate a true professional synergy, and to create and develop an internationally acknowledged artistic quality.Our structure covers the 2D/3D pre-production line, from the character, prop and background designs creation to the story-boards, layouts and expo sheets realisation. Of course, Studio 352 ensures the complete process of 3D creation, from modelling to layout, animation, rendering and compositing.Since the beginning of 2007, the company has been developing a graphic department oriented towards advertisement, architecture and hyper-realistic security/formation.

Private studios, particularly in the field of creating images, have rarely achieved this good an international reputation. Studio 352 is a high value- added company that depends on the talents and professionalism of its team staffs, most of whom have been working in the company since its creation. Specialised in the broadcasting field, the work of the animation department chiefly consists in graphic creation and the production of animated shows for television, DVDs and cinema. Accustomed to the rigorous discipline and the high pace of creating animated series as well as the complexity of developing an animated full-length movie, our artists have made possible the pre-production of 2D shows like Sabrina the Teenage Witch; Strawberry Shortcake; Horseland or Sushi Pack, as well as the realisation of 3D series like Noukies & friends; Tchoupi or Word World. Our clients and partners on these licenses include major companies such as Walt Disney Company, DIC Entertainment, Noukies Pictures, CBS, Discovery Channel, TF1, France Télévisions and BBC, to name a few.

Our graphic design creation has been developed somewhat later in the communication field, whether it is in advertising or informing, and in new Medias. We are working or have worked with advertising agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi or Dexia BIL. Our business is also aiming towards simulation in security formations with specialised institutes whose purpose, in a technological and educational angle, is to confront employees to situations where they will have to analyze some parameters and respond reasonably to them for their own security when viewing complex virtual situations. We also undertake 3D designs and virtual walk-throughs for architecture as well as game design. Our skills are following the same production patterns but their finality can be specific in regards of the use. They can also be joined in order to have a better 360 degrees approach.

Stéphan Roelants was born in Mons, Belgium, onDecember 1965. He has a degree in law, journalism and applied economics. In the same time he becomes a fiction and script author, and takes a lot of jobs which all point to the same connection: the audiovisual field, as an agency photographer, screenwriter for institutions, commercial documentaries director,etc. He also takes part as a supervisor of various organization committees ofBelgian festivals during a few years and starts producing movies.

Professionally active since more than 25 yearsin the audiovisual, Stephan began his career in Belgium in production companiesfocused on short and feature-length movies and documentaries. He arrives bychance in Luxembourg the first time in 1993 as a director for historical programs, and he settles as a line producer for documentaries. He takes advantage of a London experience in Films Ltd. to expand his knowledge with taking care of distribution and production management.

Back in Luxembourg in 1996 he creates Studio352, an animation studio with a fixed crew of 45 peoples whom the supervisors and lead artists are still on the studio job today. In 1998 he opens his ownproduction company, Melusine Productions, which is mainly dedicated to animation and documentary.

He creates a studio in Paris, Seahorse Prod.,from 2000 to 2003, and a development and production company in Los Angeles, Neptoon Productions, where he lives during four years, achieving his formation in script-writing and script-doctoring.

Today he is a producer and a co-producer of movies such as A Town Called Panic, Ernest & Celestine, and Song of the sea or Extraordinary Tales. Melusine was nominated twotimes for the Academy Awards and for the French Cesars four times among many great festival selections. He continues to develop and produce projects with an editorial line focusing on script value and high concepts linked to original visuals. The last ones are Ethel and Ernest, The breadwinner or the Summit of the Gods based on the internationally acclaimed novel from Jiro Taniguchi.
