An animation studio at Radio-Canada

As chance would have it, I met Hubert Tison, whose superb animation work I knew and who was right in the middle of setting up an animation studio at Radio-Canada. Jean-Claude Rinfret, one of my former students at the École des beaux-arts de Montréal, was head of set design and hired me back on at Radio-Canada. The team in the studio included some of the most talented artists around, with all kinds of technical experience, and I learned to use a whole new range of very interesting and up-to-date animation processes. Hubert’s enthusiasm was infectious and commissions started pouring in to our department, primarily for title design but also to illustrate content, do animated sets, and so forth.
