"No more painful changes to your scope of work!"

 

 

Do you believe that clients are always too demanding or that budgets are only getting smaller, and YOU can do nothing about it?Think again.

 

My name is Louis-Philippe Vermette, I am an animation executive producer with 25 years of experience in the animation industry.

 

Over the past few years alone, despite industry fluctuations, I used these skills to help bring over 30 million dollars in animation projects while securing half a million dollars in revenues for myself.

 

When I started my career, I had no idea how learning bidding and scoping animation would impact me and how it made ME a leader of the industry

 

And this is possible for you, too!

Future-proff your production and your career!

Case study - 10 Lives, feature film

This is a real-life example of how I applied my bidding and scoping strategy on the feature film 10 Lives, which premiered at Sundance in January 2024.

Chris Jenkins said:

"I had a great partner in our wonderful producer, Louis-Philippe Vermette [formerly of L’Atelier and currently founder of The Happy Producers]. What we had to do early on was to think of ways to be flexible with the script, and my training at Disney came into play. We had to plan carefully. For example, there is a scene with Beckett towards the end of the movie, where he’s in Heaven, and we have all the heavenly staff around. The team was terrified of that scene, with good reason, because there were so many characters there. But I do know a few tricks so we shot the scene from the ground level so you could only see the feet of the characters.

That’s an example of the kind of tricks we were able to pull off to make the movie look like a $100 million production, which it only cost less than a quarter of what a typical Disney feature costs these days."

 

“Louis Philippe did more than just contribute - he was the cornerstone of common sense and a wonderful creative collaborator. It was his calm appreciation for the creative direction that made this movie possible.”

-Chris Jenkins,
Writer and Director, 10 Lives feature film
