About the instructor:

 

 

Virginie Lavallée is a seasoned producer who had the privilege of producing content for Netflix, Apple, HBO, and Disney. She even checked a personal dream off her bucket list: working on Game of Thrones. Along the way, she delivered over 40,000+ shots, managed tens of millions in budgets, and learned that people-first production isn’t just possible—it’s the future.

That’s why she co-founded The Happy Producers, a training initiative for animation, VFX, and gaming professionals who want more efficient and profitable productions—without stress and overtime. Because great work shouldn’t come at the cost of well-being.

Lately, she has been diving deep into AI, believing that human + AI collaboration will be the next big shift in production. She is excited to explore how we can work smarter, not harder.

Hi!

I'm Virginie.

I am an award-winning Film and TV Producer with 17 years of experience in live-action and CG animation. I have worked on some of the world's most exciting properties like Game of Thrones and Pirates of the Caribbean with clients like Disney, Netflix, HBO, Ubisoft and many more.


Over the past 5 years alone, I have delivered over 25,000 animated shots under budget to happy clients while prioritizing the team’s wellbeing. That's a lot! 


But it wasn't always that way. I used to work 55 hours a week, be in a constant state of overwhelm, and miss out on family events until I decided my team and I deserved better.


I developed a tried-and-tested scheduling methodology to help my peers in the animation industry eliminate overtime and reclaim work-life balance and I'm on a mission to teach you to do the same!

The future of work starts here!

  • Learn the safe way to integrate AI tools in your production

  • Adopt a data-centric approach to decision-making

  • Optimize human-AI collaboration to drive efficiency

  • Manage change smoothly in a fast-paced environment

  • Automate busy work to eliminate overtime

  • Implement AI tools without disrupting your workflow

KILLIAN MCDONAGH -  StoryToys

 

"My favorite part was learning to keep production positive through data-based decisions.

From the gaming industry's point of view, there is a great benefit to having taken part in this as there is much crossover.

The compounding effects have been a major boost to team's productivity and moral.

It has been greatly validating to know that keeping production positive and having the whole team and partners/clients aligned to the same goal is achievable."

MARIA CASAS ANDREU -  PROJECT MANAGER, Agora Studio

 

"Thank you so much for sharing all your experience in a very organized and dynamic, concise, and accessible course.

I enjoyed it so much; it was an empowering course for me to do, and not only could I learn a lot, but also I could implement in my day-to-day."

KYLE O'NEIL -  HEAD OF ANIMATION, Examfly

 

"The entire course has been extremely useful for me. Especially helpful were the PROD Encyclopedia, learning how to deal with clients, effective onboarding strategies, creating and fostering a healthy work environment, and the specific challenges and workflows of the animation industry.

As a recent college graduate, this course provided me with essential information on how to approach animation production. I love the people-focused nature of the course. I now feel confident that my team can deliver a great product, while still prioritizing their happiness and wellbeing.

Thank you!"
