Technicolor Games is the arm of our group that focuses on the creative needs for the gaming industry. We’ve collaborated with many of the top game developers in the world and our work can be seen in many of the most regarded games out there.
Technicolor Animation & Games teamed up once again with EA for another installment of their popular hockey franchise game. For NHL 20, the team was actively involved in newly-introduced feature animations; their full range of animation work included Player Intros, Player Emotes, Signature Player Strikes, Goalie Animations, Team Celebrations, and more. To achieve the most realistic looking game moves, team members got their head in the game using real skates and hockey sticks. The team’s handling of assets included Scanned and Traditional Heads, Mascots, Stadiums, Uniforms, and Accessories. Highly-skilled artists trained specifically for traditional heads – which require deep sculpting skills and understanding of facial anatomy – worked closely with the EA team to understand and meet their expectations for the players and legends of the game.
The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. It’s all in the face. See the work of Technicolor Animation & Games in the highest quality facial animation for the hotly anticipated NBA 2K20. Using data captured from actor performances via head-mounted camera, the team – including 20 animators at peak times – worked on facial animations and polishing of the main players, as well as commentators Kenny Smith, Magic Johnson, and Shaquille O'Neal in the pre-game, halftime, and post-game shows. The team then went on to polishing mo-cap body animations for post-game shows. It all contributed to making NBA 2K20 and its next level features the closest thing to playing in the real league!
Technicolor Animation & Games put their combined artistic and technical experience to the test for Mortal Kombat 11, which called for super heroic actions mixed with realism, in a Gameplay environment where players choose from a roster of fighters with unique abilities and Fatalities. This was the team’s first opportunity to be a part of the iconic fighting video game franchise from NetherRealm Studios. With motion captured data as their starting point, Technicolor animators worked tirelessly to keep the Mortal Kombat style intact. The enhancements and timings on hits and Combo attacks had to be spot-on – without losing their grace, or the brutal feel of the well-choreographed action sequences.
In the world of Anthem, players explore the unknown to protect humanity, with superhuman capabilities given to them through an array of customizable Exo-Suits. At three years, Anthem was the longest engagement so far for Technicolor Animation & Games, as the team handled gameplay animations for ambient characters. As the relationship with game developer BioWare grew, the team took on cinematic sequences as well. Expertise in Motionbuilder enabled them to produce files efficiently while meeting the required quality for assets. Technicolor also developed a tool that could export scenes back to Maya. Additionally, the team received Vanity and Emote files for characters, and total number of game play animations reached 10,000 files.

With our team of talented artists, we've partnered with multiple development studios, effectively expanding their own art teams. Our Art Directors, who oversee all our games projects, will oversee these designs from concept to in-engine execution.
Our motion capture animation team has worked on everything from highly complex in-game animations, high end cinematic content, to Faceware retargeting and everything in between. We can supply experienced shoot Supervision/Direction, as well as all of our animation services. Working with Motionbuilder and Maya (and Max), our team offer experienced scalability to any mocap based production.

Keyframe animation has been at the core of our studio since its inception; we win Emmys for our animation! We cast our talented animators based on their skills and passions, rather than defining them as ‘games animators’ or ‘tv animators’, so when a new project comes in, we ensure we crew it up with the most relevant, talented highly suited animators to suit its needs. Working on both AAA and mobile titles, our keyframers have breathed life into multiple award winning games.

Technicolor’s asset group is an industry leading powerhouse of skilled environment, hard surface, organic, and character artists. We remain resolutely pipeline agnostic, seamlessly dropping into our partners’ pipelines and toolsets.

Our skilled Substance trained surfacing artists create next generation PBR assets for top industry clients. Our team includes many highly talented sculptors, producing characters, creatures, as well as working on blend shapes and photo real heads.
