Animatics studio Animated Storyboards opened its tenth office, and its first Canadian location, in Toronto. The new 4,300-square-foot location will feature three edit suites, an audio studio, conference room and lobby area.
The Toronto office will be led by Managing Director Maria Hanafy and staffed with a director, a producer, a marketing associate, and an animator-editor. (Pictured at top, from left to right: Director Dave Horst, Producer Catilin Mulqueen, Managing Director Maria Hanafy, Marketing Associate Megan Brescacin and Animator/Editor Andrew Minett.) Hanafy was an associate producer at Acme Posts/Hamady Productions before moving to Animated Storyboards in 2013, working out of the organization's New York and Chicago locations.
Other Animated Storyboards offices are in Los Angeles, London, São Paulo, Bangkok, Tel Aviv, Düsseldorf and Shanghai. Globally, the company employs about 300 full-timers, including illustrators, designers, directors, producers, and 2D and 3D artists.
"We're very excited to have a local studio in this unique and talented city, where out clients can call home for all their testing and animation needs," said Hanafy in a prepared statement.
