Superprod Names Chief Technical Officer

Superprod Studio has appointed Christophe Archambault as the chief technical officer (CTO) for its Paris and Angoulême facilities.

Archambault co-founded French animation studio TeamTO in 2005. He worked at Mikros as CTO of the VFX studio and then of the entire group and its studios in the U.K., Canada, France and Belgium.

Superprod Studio is currently producing the second season of Lassie, as well as Go! Go! Cory Carson. Over the next couple of years, Superprod Studio will be working on two major feature animations—a movie based on Charlie Chaplin’s masterpiece The Kid, and the first-ever theatrical adaptation of Calimero. The studio will also be working on TV series such as Joker Joe, Osmond, Anna & Froga and another season of Pat the Dog.

Superprod’s founders, Clément Calvet and Jérémie Fajner, said, “The arrival of Christophe is a major step in the expansion of Superprod Studio. Christophe is an expert in CG animation production, from feature films to TV series, and his track record and expertise will enable us to embrace even more ambitious projects for TV and cinema.”

Virginie Créance, head of operations and productions, commented, “I am delighted to be working with Christophe; he will be a key asset for structuring the growth of our studio in Paris and in Angoulême and the diversity inside our slate.”

“I am delighted to join the dynamic team of Superprod Studio,” Archambault added. “Their creativity, their vision and the slate of projects are very exciting from all viewpoints.”
