Let me teach you how to negotiate a scope of work that will protect your profit and preserve your sanity.
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!
Student feedback: Hear it from Carlos Gaxiola
Carlos is one of our first student taking this course. With years of experience in animation and owner of his own studio, Carlos was not afraid to jump head first into learning a new way of bidding animation projects. Here is what he had to say about his experience on the course.

"Your course has been incredibly helpful in understanding how international bidding works. I have been able to consider some expenses that I had previously overlooked, and this has been crucial for my Studio. Additionally, I can better distinguish good-fit projects for my business, and I have improved my communication skills with potential clients. I have learned that just because one project isn't a good fit doesn't mean the next one won't be.
Thank you for your valuable insights and guidance."

Case study - 10 Lives, feature film
I applied my bidding and scoping strategy on the feature film 10 Lives, which premiered at Sundance in January 2024. My bidding and scope of work strategy helped the film success on screen while providing healthy work conditions to the team behind the screen.
“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

Hear it from a past colleague and vendor: Marcio Shima
I met with Marcio Shima and his team at Hype Animation a few years ago when they provided my studio with animation services. Since, Marcio and I have maintained a great connection. Here is what Marcia had to say about our collaboration and my work as a producer and production mentor.

"I meet LP 3 years ago. He was actually my client, overseeing our animation services for a major streamer feature film. Looking back, I see that some of the values he is teaching now [ ], were pretty much real at that time. We were all equals and that enabled us to better solve our problems.
It ain’t easy to be a producer and business developer, and even though I had several bids sent over my career, I still get butterflies for every new one. LP now gives us the guidance to take better control of our business removing the scary part by building solid scopes, positioning ourselves as the experts, being objective, data centric and preserving our team."
