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, including recent releases FIFA 17, Madden 17, and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
In Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, gamers will find fun connections to the popular Resident Evil series but with a new cast of characters that Technicolor worked with Capcom in Osaka to create. Powered by the specially built RE Engine, the huge number of Gameplay animations for the primary characters required extensive motion capture polishing. Technicolor adjusted elements in the characters’ posing to make them more natural and fine-tuned the animation timing, two features that are essential to creating more realistic animation. Animators also worked on creature animations, with spiders, cockroaches, and oversized mosquitos among the creepy cast of game characters. All told, the team produced more than 1,500 files, averaging 12 animators over 3,195 man-days for an immersive three hours of gameplay available for PlayStation VR, Xbox One, and PCs.
With settings ranging from World War II to futuristic environments, Call of Duty is one of the most popular franchises on the planet, with sales topping $15 billion. Technicolor has a long-term partnership with Activision dating back to 2012, working on five titles in all: Call of Duty: Ghosts; Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare; Call of Duty: Black Ops III; Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, and Call of Duty: Black Ops III. The wide variety of work done on these games includes creating blend shapes, highly detailed UI elements, vegetation, environment props (organic and mechanical), statues, and zombie plants. The latest editions of the games used a PBR workflow and are on the IW engine (earlier iterations used Treyarch’s NGL engine). They are available on all consoles and PCs.
Our gaming offering is ever-evolving, and we strive to be ahead of the curve by adapting to new technologies. We continue to deliver by creating the best gaming experiences available, and are working to push the market forward.

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 Animation and Games group continues to build and enhance the NHL franchise, providing more assets and animation to this year’s game than in years past. Technicolor’s talented artists worked on enhancing the motion capture data to ensure that all characters’ motions looked as life-like as possible, precisely timing their interactions with the ice and with other characters. They also handled a variety of animations, including the creation of the trophy win, players’ celebrations, goalie animations and the team photo, to name just a few. Our artists consistently deliver the highest quality of work, requiring minimal feedback or supervision. Ultimately, the team created 250 minutes of character work, while delivering a variety of assets including uniforms, equipment - goalie pads, gloves, goalie sticks, etc – and the players’ heads.

Technicolor’s Animation and Games group partnered with Electronic Arts once gain for this year’s Madden game. The group was responsible for more assets than ever before, including the creation of 11 stadiums and various story-mode props. The key artists on the game were invited to the stadiums at Tiburon for on-site training, to ensure the animated versions accurately resembled the real-life stadiums. EA’s team also came out to the Bangalore Studio to train the team and help set up the pipeline. This was also the first instance that Technicolor’s artists worked in Frostbite to build the various stadiums.
Technicolor helped the newest installment of the FIFA series by building in-game assets, story mode assets, and hero vehicles. All in all, Technicolor artists have created more than 250 realistic character heads using scan data, as well as using traditional methods. We also created more than 2,500 assets, including clothing and accessories for story mode, as well as shoes, soccer balls, gloves, kits for each team and countless props.
