He did there his first short movie “Nîumb” which was screened at Siggraph, Imagina and anima-mundi 2000. He worked then for Kalisto Entertainment as a Senior Background Artist.  In 2002, he was contacted by Ubisoft to work as an Art Director on Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Lacoste went on to work on such titles as Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones and Assassin's Creed, winning a VES Award in February 2006 for his work on the "Two Thrones" cut scene.
