The Celtic-inspired kids\u2019 anime series <em>L\u00ed Ban<\/em> for C\u00fala4\/TG4 in Ireland and S4C in Wales has recently started airing, with 52 further episodes in development.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to growing its own slate of projects, Paper Owl\u2019s new 5,000 square foot studio in Belfast will house the company\u2019s core team of creatives working across animation, production, design, live action and post production.<\/p>\n<p>Paper Owl\u2019s growth strategy also sees a strengthening of its relationships worldwide as it grows capacity to capitalize on co-production opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Gavin Halpin, managing director at Paper Owl Films, said: \u201cWe are thrilled with our new studio. The new environment is an incredible space where we can continue to build our company culture, foster teamwork and creativity and grow our training programs. Remote working has seen amazing innovation in animation pipelines in recent years, but we have missed that in-person contact that the creative industry thrives on. By creating a truly hybrid pipeline, our projects have optimum technical efficiency while retaining crew flexibility, allowing us to have exciting in-person collaboration and continue to work with global talent. It is an exciting time of renewed energy and expansion at Paper Owl Films. We are so grateful to all of our partners who continue to support our efforts to create quality and empowering content for children all over the world!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paper Owl Films, creator of Pablo and Sol, has opened a new studio in Belfast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":29049,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[3077],"class_list":["post-29037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-paper-owl-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
