Animation will assist Technicolor in the recruitment,
training and development of top-tier animation
talent to the Paprikaas facility in India,
an official release states.
Paprikaas
has made a name for itself in CGI animation
for feature films, television programming,
commercials and video games, with a strong
focus on digital 3D content. The Paprikaas
team's work on FARMkids, an animated children's
series, recently won a "Best TV Series"
award at the Australian Effects and Animation
Festival in Sydney.
DreamWorks
Animation COO Ann Daly said, "Technicolor
is a first-class collaborator with which
DreamWorks Animation has enjoyed a long-term,
successful relationship and we are thrilled
to work with Technicolor and Thomson in
this exciting new endeavor. Through this
strategic alliance, our objective is to
tap into and further develop the gifted
talent base in India, with the potential
to do the kind of feature-level work for
which we are renowned worldwide."
Paprikaas'
operations have recently relocated to Thomson's
new 100,000-square-foot digital content
production facility in Bangalore. The first
of its kind in Asia, the facility will serve
as Thomson's post-production center in India.
