Context: Ludovik celebrates his fans

Ludovik is a French director, actor and scriptwriter who made his name on the internet through his YouTube videos and his involvement in the Studio Bagel comedy collective. He has now taken part in many of the most viewed French videos on YouTube, including projects such asVisiteur du Futur, the Palmashow and Canal+'s Dézapping du Before.

A prolific social networker (Instagram, Vine, Twitter), Ludovik was one of the first to set up his own Facebook page, back in 2009. He quickly reached 50,000 subscribers. To thank them, he made a special video. Given the popularity of this one, he will do it again for 100,000, 200,000 and all the following levels! Today he has more than a million subscribers and his videos are getting bigger and bigger.

It was at this point that3D computer graphics and special effects were introduced and the collaboration with Tronatic Studio began.
