Greater Montreal Metropolitan Area
With over 20 years in 3D animation across film and AAA games, I lead the Montreal studio at Platige Image, focusing on cinematic storytelling, performance, and world-class visual quality. I’ve built my career at the intersection of art and technology, with a strong focus on character performance, facial animation, and high-end cinematics. I’ve helped shape animation pipelines, led international teams, and delivered work that not only looks great, but feels real. 🎬 What I do best • Lead and scale animation teams across global productions • Bridge motion capture, Unreal, and keyframe workflows into cohesive pipelines • Deliver cinematic storytelling for games and film at the highest level • Build strong client relationships through trust, clarity, and results 🚀 Recent highlights • Elevated facial performance quality on major AAA projects, strengthening long-term client partnerships • Directed teams across complex cinematic productions using mocap, Unreal, and Maya workflows • Contributed to growing Platige’s North American presence through business development and partnerships 💡 How I lead I care deeply about people and performance, in that order. Great animation comes from clarity, trust, and a team that enjoys the work. I focus on creating an environment where artists can thrive, giving clear and actionable feedback, and keeping communication sharp, honest, and human. I believe in raising the bar while protecting a healthy and sustainable work culture. 🎯 What drives me I’m still that kid who fell in love with film and games, now with the experience to build them at scale. I bring energy, curiosity, and a strong sense of storytelling into everything I do. If you’re building something ambitious in games, cinematics, or VFX, I’d love to connect. Let’s make something great. Bartek
