Moving Picture Company (MPC) Studio network to focus on Feature Film and Episodic VFX
With an ambition to become the world’s largest creative visual arts company, Technicolor Creative Studios has announced the integration of its VFX brands MPC Film, MPC Episodic and MR. X under Moving Picture Company (MPC), forming the largest suite of VFX studios serving the feature film and episodic market globally.
MPC will be helmed by the newly appointed President, Tom Williams. Previously Managing Director of MPC Episodic, Williams is a seasoned feature film and TV executive with previous experience at Sky and Abbey Road Studios and has a proven track record of scaling creative companies for global success.
The move is part of a wider strategic business transformation to create one market-leading brand offering the best in creative technology to Feature film and episodic partners. By bringing the three brands together, Technicolor Creative Studios will combine a roster of award-winning creative talent, and is looking to scale up globally, investing in technology, infrastructure, and real estate.
MPC’s studio locations now include London, Paris, Liège, Berlin, Los Angeles, Toronto, Montreal, Adelaide, Bangalore, and Mumbai, with over 5000 artists.
This is the next phase of Technicolor Creative Studios’ evolution strategy, with additional changes across the business. VFX studio MPC Advertising is integrating with The Mill under The Mill brand, to specialise in VFX, creative production and immersive brand experiences for the advertising market.
“Bringing all of Technicolor Creative Studios longform and episodic VFX brands under the MPC banner gives us the strongest possible platform to invest in growth and centralise our R&D efforts. This is an exciting business transformation that will be followed by global expansion plans, enabling us to access the best talent in the world.”
