Studio 100 Group, on the heels of record figures in 2018, is set to further expand both its international business and creative production capabilities.<\/p>\n
As part of this mission, the company has appointed Barbara Stephen as CEO of content for Studio 100 International. In her new role, Stephen will assume executive management of all development, investment and animation production across the creative businesses, including Studio 100 Animation in Paris, Studio Isar Animation in Munich and Little Airplane Productions in New York. She will also continue in the role of CEO for Flying Bark Productions in Sydney.<\/p>\n
Studio 100, in its efforts to grow, will continue to invest in original independent animated movies, series and brand activities and work to diversify its technical and animation services. Further, the company has backed the expansion of Flying Bark\u2019s in-house animation capabilities, which includes the hiring of Alexia Gates-Foale as head of animation production, and is also investing in the diversification of its Studio 100 Animation business. It has been developing a VR service to re-invent CGI animation pipelines using real-time technologies to reduce animation\u2019s overall cost-per-minute.<\/p>\n
Hans Bourlon, CEO of Studio 100 Group, said: \u201cWe are extremely happy with the results of our group, feeling confirmed in the way we are developing as a corporate group within the entertainment business. To continue this path, we constantly must adapt to changing market situations. We absolutely trust in Barbara to lead our content and production teams across the globe. The board and I are very optimistic about the future while being grateful for the hard work of our staff and what was achieved so far. And we believe that the best is yet to come!\u201d<\/p>\n
Stephen said: \u201cFlying Bark has worked hard to develop a strong culture of creativity and inclusiveness with a focus on delivering world-class content across hand-drawn 2D and CGI character animation. Alexia has been pivotal in shaping the modern studio and will continue to provide strong leadership and creative vision for our future direction.\u201d<\/p>\n
Katell France, managing director of Studio 100 Animation, added: \u201cWe are thrilled to offer this new virtual reality service to other productions. Directors, artists and producers immediately see the productivity, quality and cost efficiency of this innovative production tool.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
