We’re only 20 people who manage the software AND support the whole planet. Is it stressful to work at TVPaint Développement?įabrice Debarge: Well, it’s a humble-size company. And last but not least: let’s not forget our friends and families, because they have to deal with our hectic schedules, our stress, and our numerous trips across the world! An illustration that celebrates TVPaint Développement receiving ASIFA Hollywood’s Ub Iwerks award for its software achievements. Also, a very special thanks to the jury of the ASIFA Hollywood. I would like to thank all the people who’ve been using TVPaint technology, whether it’s been for decades or just a few weeks, especially the ones who take the time to send feedbacks through emails, our online forum, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I would like to thank our beta testers, who are a fistful of great international artists with a vast range of experience in animation. Obviously, I would like to thank the original creator of TVPaint technology, Hervé Adam, and the whole TVPaint team. Would you like to thank anyone in particular?įabrice Debarge: It is tough – there are so many people who’ve been part of our success. This award confirms we’ve been doing well, and we will continue to do our best to meet our users’ expectations. Our team has always done its best to provide an incredible software for traditional animators who want the natural feeling of animating on paper with all the power of modern digital tools. We have never lobbied for prizes or awards, so we could barely believe it! Now we know it is for real and we feel ecstatic: it’s a true honor for my team and I to be awarded, especially by ASIFA Hollywood! In Europe, there are no events to reward technologies that have been developed for the industry of animation, cinema, and vfx. How do you feel about that ?įabrice Debarge: When we received the letter from ASIFA Hollywood executive director Frank Gladstone, we went through a variety of emotions. We chat with TVPaint Développement CEO, Fabrice Debarge, who highlights the upcoming endeavors for the French company and its ingenious 2D animation software TVPaint Animation, and also introduces the software’s highly-anticipated Android version.Ĭartoon Brew: It’s been official for several weeks: at the next Annie Awards, taking place February 3 in Los Angeles, TVPaint Développement will be presented the Ub Iwerks Award, an honor that recognizes “technical advancement that has made a significant impact on the art and industry of animation.” It’s actually the first time ever that a French company is receiving this recognition.
