“It is a strategic alliance in which we will be providing the infrastructure while Dreamworks will initially help us in recruiting and training talent in India. In the next 6-12 months, we expect to start production for Dreamwork’s movies,” Thierry Pasquet, Vice-President, Thomson – India, told Business Line. Both the parties intend to bring to India “as much production work as possible”, added Pasquet.

DreamWorks is an independent American animation studio, which roughly produces two feature animated films a year. Some of the well-known movies from the DreamWorks stable include Shrek, Shark Tale and Madagascar. The companies will also focus on partnering for TV programming, commercials and video games, with a strong focus on 3D content. The alliance leverages Thomson’s recent investment in Paprikaas Animation Studios, an animation and game content provider in Bangalore, said a company communication. The 200-people-strong Paprikaas offers creative, technical and production capabilities to design and produce computer-generated animation for feature films, television programming, commercials and video games.
