Studios

Established in the south of Paris and since 2022 in Angoulême, our studios have a capacity of over two hundred workstations. We are specialized in 2D animation and in pre-production for CGI.
We use softwares such as ToonBoom Harmony, Storyboard Pro, TV Paint, Adobe creative suite, Maya and Blender.

As an independent studio, we set up a space for research and development as well as production. Our teams work hand in hand with yours, offering the expertise adapted to your needs.

Our crew is always tailor-made, according to the specifics of each project. We will bring together the best talents and dedicate one of our production managers to guarantee the smooth progress of your production.

Quality is our main focus. This means brainstorming, sharing ideas and being part of the same team, as well as ensuring the right level of flexibility during the creative process.

Each project, context or story is unique and so deserves a personalized offer.

Finally, we can provide access to the International Tax Rebate (30% of eligible expenditures) and assist in finding local distribution, sales agent or broadcaster.

The team

FOST studio is quite new but we are not!

In 2014 while working on The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales and Ernest & Célestine, the Collection, at Folivari, we put together a development workshop where artists worked side by side, shared creative feedback, creating an effervescent atmosphere, resulting in a real artistic ecosystem.

Its evolution into a permanent studio was our instinctive desire as producers.

Our values

We believe that diversity is a strength and a great asset for any company. That’s why we are committed to promoting inclusivity and diversity in all its forms. To this end, we pay close attention to our recruitment processes in order to ensure equal opportunities for all:

Inclusive Job Listings: We avoid lengthy advertisements that might discourage some candidates, as well as using overly gendered language or stereotypes.
Streamlined Application Process: In our application form, we ask only for information that is essential for processing applications. We do not request photos, ages, or hobbies.
Objective Selection Criteria: Applications are reviewed and candidates are selected as neutrally as possible, focusing only on professional experience and required skills.
Focus on Soft Skills: During interviews, we pay close attention to soft skills such as interpersonal abilities and emotional intelligence, to maintain a healthy and supportive team environment.
Anonymous Testing: If a test is required, we commit to treating it anonymously to ensure impartiality.
Promoting Gender Parity: When selecting candidates, we aim to create teams with a balanced representation of genders.
Equitable Compensation: To limit unjustified salary differences among team members, we have implemented a salary scale based on experience level, with limited variations within each level.

To attract talent from diverse professional and personal backgrounds and promote social diversity:

We are a part of Magelis Solidarité, an association developing a support fund for students facing financial difficulties in attending the visual arts schools in Angoulême.
We have partnered with Viens voir mon taff, an association providing secondary school students from priority education areas with the opportunity to explore the animation industry.
We travel to meet animation students all over France, particularly in state schools and new schools, and recruit without bias toward their educational background.

To encourage intergenerational collaboration:

We welcome interns and work-study students throughout the year.
– We ensure that our teams include a balance of artists at various stages in their careers.

To support a diversity of identities:

We encourage all employees to mention their pronouns in their signatures, to promote greater inclusiveness.
– We strive to listen to our employees to better understand their needs and expectations, in order to create a respectful and inclusive working environment for all.

Lastly, we have a zero-tolerance policy toward moral and sexual harassment, as well as any form of physical or psychological violence at work. In the event of a report, we will take immediate action to protect the victim, conduct an internal investigation, and apply appropriate sanctions if necessary. We have trained referral agents available, so please feel free to reach out to them—they are here to support you.
