Pre-viz Supervisor

Description

About Us

We are currently ramping up for our CG animation film based on the creative universe of Playmobil toys - directed by Lino diSalvo (Frozen, Tangled) !   We are looking for motivated talent to join our team on this adventure and play a key part at our up-and-coming studio.

Founded in 2009 in Paris, ON Animation Studios is the CG Production Facility of ON Entertainment Group - producers of “Mune” and “The Little Prince” (winner of the 2016 César for Best Animated Film)! In 2013, our CG studio expanded its operations to Montreal to create the pipeline and tools used on these features at Mikros Image Canada.  We also sent our key supervisors, leads and artists on special assignment to lend their expertise to these productions within Mikros' facility.

Since then, ON Animation Studios has embarked on a new adventure operating as a full-fledged independent CG studio, with the commission of a brand new 25.000 sq ft facility in 2016.

We have your ticket to growth opportunities, technical and artistic challenges, and a top-notch team focused on quality.  Come and join us on the ride!
