At the crossroads between a technology studio and creative workshop, Dada! Animation produces original creations and offers 3D design services through its multi-format service offer.
Founded back in 2019 by a group of multidisciplinary partners who had gained expertise working in animation, video games and special effects, the french animation company produces original creations and offers its creative services from the editorial design stage to produce engaging and innovative stories.
As a contributor of prestigious research centers, we experiment in the field the most recent technological advances in 3D animation and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
A player in the real-time animation and virtual production community, we believe in open-source collaborative work (collaboration with IRISA/INRIA on the European project INVICTUS).
As a hatchery of new talent, Dada! Animation has a commitment with a number of education institutes (YNOV, ECV, ISART Digital, Georges Méliès Institute, Les Gobelins, Supinfocom, Annecy Festival), as well as offering block-release internships, participating in scientific advisory boards, national committees (CPNEF A/V) and round-table events.
