SPP Online!!!

Well… This year has been eccentric so far! With the pandemic still going and every beloved convention canceled, it’s been a breath of fresh air to be able to attend one of our favorite ones online!!! Once more, SPP has left a mark on us! We love this convention! It’s been super well organized, the staff has been super kind and receptive (it’s awesome that they have translators), and we have been amazed to meet all these companies from Asia!!! Attending SPP allowed us to introduce ourselves to new companies and to learn about them so hopefully we can work together in the future!

The convention highlight for us has been the Biz-Matching program. It was very easy to enroll and use, and once we filled out our information, it was extremely useful to track the companies we might be interested in - and for them to track us! This shared information through SPP made for great conversation starters and facilitated a lot of our company research, as it’s sometimes hard to find the right websites due to the language barrier. Thankfully, SPP had it all organized and in English for us! Also, they adjusted the duration for a longer convention time, so it’s easier to schedule those meetings from overseas!

We’re looking forward to it again next year, hopefully in-person!

Thanks SPP!

TAC and OTTAWA International Animation Film Festival! 2018

After a crazy inspiring week we can say we are back in Burbank with a LOT of awesome stories to tell from the OIAF !!! The convention was a success for us!! Not only we had a chance to represent Pirateers! It the TAC semifinals (that was an awesome experience already!), but we also took full advantage of all the incredible inspiring and informational lectures, events and a very well organized Business Fast Track. We saw a lot of international movies, made tones of talented friends and discover the heart of a very lively city that lives up to their high Canadien friendly standards.

The event had a lot of very fun and successful networking events like the Toon Boom sponsored Boat Cruise, or the BBQ-Pumpkin-Carving event in the beautiful park sponsored by Cartoon Network. Not to forget the great Nickelodeon Breakfast and the lunch and parties networking events. We really look forward to come back next year and see all the new friends we meet! Also stay tuned for mischievous outcomes from this event!

And what kind of Creative Studio we would be if we didn’t took the chance to explore and get inspired by this beautiful city?? So we did!!! And we discover tones of wonderful bookstores, secret coffees, amazing beautiful fall colors and very impressive Modern-gothic Architecture!

Ottawa is a Must See City!!

Volunteering in Vietnam!

Because Art and Stories are around the world there is nothing more inspiring to go find them!

Glow in the Dark was part of an Art initiative program promoted by the Right Hands. The volunteering promoted the Arts as a tool for Little orphan kids to not only use Art as a healing therapy but also as a possible future career for them. To learn a profession that will hopefully help their way out of poverty.

Obviously with a great story like this we had to participate! We create content for kids at the studio, hopefully to give them awesome childhood memories. What a better chance for us to give those memories.. like literally! It was a very inspiring experience, extremely heartwarming and… we got the chance to teach this little future talents a bit of photoshop!

The Right Hands provided them with Digital tablets, digital art programs, and art material for the kids so they can learn with good tools. We also participate in a lot of very inspiring activities like Museum Trips, Arts and Crafts day and even self modeling life drawing!

We will miss this girls a lot and the awesome group of Volunteers! We were soo charmed by Hanoi (Vietnam).

Thanks Right Hands for this awesome experience!

Seoul Promotional Plan... here we go!!!

We got extremely lucky to find ourselves in Korea at the time of the SPP!!! We were ins Asia for another reason (seeeecretssss!!!!) and luckily we stumbled upon that convention, the timing was just perfect! Was super easy to sign in, the staff was super nice and responsive! And we took fully advantage of their Business Meeting program. We filled up our schedule and we meet with great new companies and some familiar ones!

We also got the luck to hear very inspiring panels and to attend to some of the competitions finale. The whole convention was very English-friendly and the attendees were super duper nice.

Plus.. Korea… Is such a beautiful and inspiring country. We felt so lucky of being part of this Adventure!
