IGNACE ALEYA INFLUENCER SPOTLIGHT
Ignace Aleya is a Belgium-based YouTube content creator, filmmaker, visual FX artist and entertainment influencer on Intellifluence. At the age of 14, Ignace found his passion for film and started making short films until he was discovered on YouTube by some directors to do visual effects for a feature film at the age of 18. Every Tuesday and Friday, Ignace uploads a new filmmaking tutorial to his YouTube channel, powered by his company Tolerated Cinematics, which is currently being rebranded as Creator Galaxy.
Tell us about your background in film
Yeah definitely, So basically how I got started is I was fourteen years old, I was gaming a lot, and I wanted to do something with those games. I was doing pretty great so I wanted to make a movie of that like a little compilation but of course I started searching for to really make my audience surprised a little bit with some effects and editing styles and techniques. And people saw that and they wondered how did I do that so I started little by little putting out a tutorial at the point in time but I didn’t really realize I was making an educational tutorial channel or something. Yeah, I started doing gaming edits and then a little bit of tutorials on how I created those effects and then it kind of grew into making a film educational channel. And of course I experimented a lot on my own. I made a lot of short films. Mostly my knowledge is all self doubt, I did go to school [for] multimedia so that’s in the secondary school where you can kind of learn everything that is multimedia related so Photoshop and stuff like that, premier pro. But basically I ended up teaching myself so at that point I already knew a lot from tutorials online. Even after I finished at school apparently I heard the year after me people were actually looking for my tutorials and doing that as a class so the teacher just said look up Ignace Aleya and do something what he tells you. That was basically the class for them so that was pretty cool. Then I ended up in graphic design school, especially for web design stuff, which was pretty great but it wasn’t really what was like the best fit for me and at that point I was already doing pretty okay on YouTube. And a director from America, from California, contacted me [asking] if I could do a simple effect for his movie and that way I started experimenting more with the effects in movies and then I found that this is really what I want to do for the rest of my life. So that’s basically where I started to do visual effects and film.
How did you get started as an influencer?
Not so long ago actually. Maybe the last two years I think but it’s only the last year that I really started focusing on that and really putting a little bit more of a story in those products and really being behind those products, and really believing in them. At first I did kind of just accept any kind of offer I got in my hands because yeah of course it’s all new for me and it’s kind of cool to find someone that is interested [in you] kind of promoting their brand on your channel but therefore it’s not a perfect fit for my channel and that’s where I kind of lost myself a little bit. But right now I’m definitely very selective with what I work with. I’m the Panasonic Belgium Ambassador at this point in time so that’s pretty great to get into that world and if I remember how I started I was just looking up to people who were doing this and now I’m just like on their team I’m together with them so that’s pretty cool. So basically it’s the last year that I really started influential marketing.
