Company and Role research
Fortiche Productions
What do they do/Location/Target Audience?
This is the studio responsible for Arcane and various Music Videos for Riot Games and Artists. They are based in Paris and Las Palmas, the specialize in uniquely blending 2D and 3D style. I believe they are targeted towards a more modern generation as they seem to do a lot of work with games and music. They enjoy a free and friendly environment.
Job Requirements and Internships
They seem to have job openings for senior storyboard artists to work on the season 2 production of Arcane. The job will be in charge of " graphically adapting the scenarios by ensuring the development of the cutting and the rhythm of the storyboard in collaboration with the Storyboard Lead." It describes that the role requires skills in Maya and to have good command of realistic drawing. It also requires a good understanding of narrative and cinematography
How does it connect?
Since last semester I was focused on storyboarding, thumbnails and animatics I felt the job opening for storyboard artist was appropriate. I am also very interested in the fusion of different mediums like 2D and 3D.

At the moment there isn't much jobs open but normally they open up for summer internships on their social medias. Generally they look for experience in animation and in using animation programs. They say on their jobs page that they like to work with talented and like minded creatives.
How does it connect?
This connects as I am also looking for a creative driven studio that values the animators and the freedom of creation. I am also interested in working with other artists and studios. As its a studio that works with 2D animation, I am sure they do a lot of drawing in their work pipeline which I am more than happy to do.

Sergio Pablo Animation Studios
What do they do/Location/Target Audience?
This studio is based in Madrid and work in 2D and 3D animation. They are best known for their debut movie of Klaus and conceiving Despicable Me. Their target audience would be children or teens as they do a lot of work on animated feature films.
Job Requirements and Internships
There are openings for 3D Rough Layout Artist and a 3D Previs Artist. These are the types of roles that I feel I would be interested in as it has a great deal to do with cinematography, narrative and working in 3D stages. They also blend 2D and 3D which is something I am familiar with doing during a pre-vis and animatic stage. They also require experience in Maya and adobe programs. However does require couple years of experience in feature film animation.
How does it connect?
This connects as it is a job that works in pre production that deals with creative narratives such as cinematography, and stage planning. I enjoy working with cameras in a animated stage which is something they value. Working on animated feature films are also something I would like to do.
