Fortiche Production

Throwback to March 20th! Christine Ponzevera, our Head of Content & Executive Producer, and Stéphane Annette, Lead Storyboarder (Arcane Season 2), had the honor of being invited by La Fémis (École nationale supérieure des métiers de l'image et du son) to speak with apprentice screenwriters from the series writing program. They shared insights into their careers, creative journeys, and experiences working on Arcane, offering valuable advice to the next generation of storytellers. The discussion also covered Fortiche’s unique identity as a studio. A big thank you to La Fémis for hosting this inspiring exchange! #Arcane #Fortiche #Fortichers #LaFémis #Storytelling #Screenwriting #Animation #Series

Last week was a blast for Fortichers! On March 6, we were honored to attend the #Pégases 2025 awards, where our co-founder Pascal Charrue and CEO Hervé Dupont presented the Visual Excellence award to Les Fourmis. Congrats to Tower Five on a well-deserved win! We had an incredible time at the #ANIMA festival (March 4-5) in Brussels, where our team—Adam Bachiri (3DFX supervisor), Philippe Llerena (CTO), Pauline Motard (Layout supervisor), and Anne-laure To (Art supervisor)—shared the magic behind #Arcane Season 2. Connecting with passionate fans and showcasing our artistry was truly inspiring. Then, on March 7, we joined IAMAG at Forum des images for an exclusive deep dive into Arcane Season 2, led by Philippe Llerena, Adam Bachiri, Pauline Motard, and Martin Bailly (Matte-Painting Supervisor). Huge thanks to ANIMA, IAMAG, and everyone who joined us for these unforgettable events!

💥 New newsletter! Excited to share an in-depth interview with Alexis Wanneroy (France), Head of Character Animation at Fortiche Production, the makers of Arcane. We discuss his personal artist history, the unique process of creating Arcane (including a never-before-seen process video from the team), hopes for the animation industry and more. An excerpt: "Silco was my favorite character to bring to life because of his depth. He’s a complex mix of intelligence, control, and raw emotion, which made every scene with him incredibly compelling to animate... Jinx, on the other hand, was the most challenging. She’s so unique and unpredictable, and it was vital to keep her grounded and real without veering into caricature."
