TECHNICOLOR & DREAMWORKS PARTNER ON INDIA INITIATIVE
Paprikaas offers creative, technical and production capabilities for
designing and producing CG animation for films, television, commercials
and video games.
As part of the alliance, DreamWorks Animation will assist Technicolor
in the recruitment, training and development of top-tier animation
talent to the Paprikaas facility. Paprikaas’ operations recently
relocated to Thomson’s new 100,000-square-foot digital content
production facility in Bangalore. The expanded animation facility will
serve as Thomson’s post production center of excellence in India.
The announcement reinforces Thomson’s commitment and strategy to
provide, through Technicolor, worldwide animation services for the
feature film, television animation and video game industries.
Strengthening Paprikaas’ creative, technical and computer animation
capabilities will provide Technicolor with additional resources and
capacity to meet the growing demand for high-end 3D digital animation.
Ann Daly, COO of DreamWorks Animation, says, “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.”
