I'm Pierre Lacaille, known online as GrayDarth a motion artist and creator of cinematic loops. Based in France, working worldwide 🌐


I specialize in taking a single poster, a piece of key art, or an iconic frame and bringing it to life. I start from the original image, break it down into layers by hand in Photoshop, then rebuild it in motion in After Effects. Every element; light, smoke, cloth, breath, atmosphere is animated manually, giving the piece depth, emotion, and presence, as if the artwork was always meant to move. No AI in the creative process. Just craft.


For me, it’s never about showing off technique. It’s about one guiding question:
“How would it feel if this was real?”


From Star Wars to Arcane, Dune, and beyond, my goal has always been the same: make each piece feel official. Something you'd expect to see on a streaming platform, in a cinema lobby, or on a billboard. Because these universes carry story, weight, and emotion and each motion is a love letter to the artists behind the work, to the worlds that shaped us, and to the fans who live inside them every day.


Over the past few years, this passion has resonated far beyond what I imagined: 100M+ organic views, a community of 300K+ engaged fans, and recognition from creatives at Netflix, IMAX, Dolby, Riot/Fortiche, and Lucasfilm. But at the core, I stay the same a fan first, an artist second, always chasing that spark when fiction feels alive.

WHAT

I BUILD

KEY ART LOOPS

My signature work. I take an official poster or a single iconic frame and bring it to life. Every element (light, smoke, cloth, breath, atmosphere) hand-animated layer by layer in Photoshop and After Effects, until the artwork feels like it was always meant to move.

CINEMATIC DROPS

Short-form motion pieces built around a single emotional beat. Announcement teasers, trailer precursors, season reveals, franchise moments. Made to stop a scroll, and stay with the viewer long after.

MULTI-FORMAT CAMPAIGNS

Full deliverable sets around a single launch. One hero piece, reformatted and re-cut across every aspect ratio a modern campaign needs. Same craft, every screen, every placement, from a phone in a subway to a building in Times Square.

custom concepts

Original pieces within your existing universe. For briefs that need something the franchise hasn't shown yet, but that has to feel like it always belonged.

BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN

VERTICAL (9:16) Reels, TikTok, Stories, YouTube Shorts, vertical mobile drops. SQUARE (1:1) Feed posts, legacy social placements. HORIZONTAL (16:9 / 21:9) YouTube, streaming platforms, in-app hero modules, broadcast spots. CINEMA LOBBY DISPLAYS Large-format foyer screens and in-theater pre-show placements. Built to loop seamlessly for continuous playback. DOOH AND BILLBOARDS City boards, transit screens, building-scale placements, festival and premiere event displays. Delivered at the resolutions and color spaces each vendor requires. CUSTOM ASPECT RATIOS Immersive installations, stage backdrops, live-event activations, collector drops. On request.

Every format reframed from scratch when needed. No lazy center-cropping.

FILE INTEGRITY AND CRAFT PROMISE

Every project ships with full After Effects and Photoshop source files preserved. Organized, layered, labeled, and available for review or handoff on request. That's the verifiable proof behind the work: no AI generation in the creative pipeline, no black-box shortcuts, just handcrafted motion you can open, inspect, and trust.
