3D Animation Studio In Montreal:
From Storyboard To Final Delivery
Productions Arborescence is a Montreal video production and animation studio at 180 Peel Street, Suite 300. The team produces 3D animation and 2D motion design for clients including VIA Rail Canada, ARTM and L’Oréal’s Matrix brand, in French and in English.
The animated ticketing sequences for ARTM and the Matrix campaign for L’Oréal came out of the same Montreal studio. Productions Arborescence produces 3D animation and motion design inside a full video production capability, backed by more than 15 years of practice. We animate in 2D and in 3D, from character animation to 3D computer graphics, and the format follows the message rather than a house style.
Our 3D Animation and 2D Motion Design Work
Below is what our team actually animates, which format suits which job, and how each one supports a marketing strategy.
- 3D animated sequences and product visuals, as produced for Immervision
- Transit and wayfinding explainers, such as the ARTM ticketing animations
- Institutional and science content for the Biodôme de Montréal and the Parc olympique de Montréal
- Brand and campaign animation for Matrix, Keurig and Barilla
- Animated HTML banners and short digital formats for Kupa Station and ChallengeU
Some jobs need built geometry and lighting. Others need flat shapes moving with rhythm. Our motion graphics and visual effects work covers both, and you can explore our graphic animation and motion design service for the full offering.

Our 3D Animation Production Process, Step By Step
Here is how a commissioned animation moves from the first meeting to delivered masters. The order is typically fixed because every step is connected to and dependent on the previous one.
- Preparatory meetings to define the message, the audience and the distribution channels
- Script and storyboard, approved by you before any asset is built
- 3D modelling, animation and any live-action shot in our own studio
- Editing, sound design and post-production finishing, colour included
- Delivery of final masters, with a French version and an English version when both are needed
The same project management thread runs through every step, so approvals do not get lost between the animation team and the editing suite. You can see our post-production services for what happens after the last frame is animated.

Why Choose a Montreal Studio That Also Handles Video Production?
Most animation companies stop at the animated sequence. An animation studio that also shoots, streams and edits can combine animated sequences with filmed footage inside one project, with one team and one point of contact. You avoid splitting one deliverable between an animation supplier and a video supplier.
Named clients include VIA Rail Canada, exo, ARTM, Espace pour la vie Montréal and the Conseil des arts du Canada. Our Montreal-based video production agency covers webcasting, event coverage and studio rental alongside animation, in French and in English. We serve clients across Québec, Canada, the United States and Europe, and the studio holds the Adobe Certified Expert credential. You can discover our promotional video services to see the filmed side of the same capability.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commissioning 3D Animation
These are the three questions Quebec marketing and communications teams raise most often before they approve an animation budget. Each answer below lands in its first sentence, so you can lift it straight into an internal recommendation. Our animation studio answers them the same way on the phone and in a first preparatory meeting.
Cost is driven by the length of the animation, the number of 3D assets modelled from scratch, the visual effects required, and the number of language versions delivered. We scope it against those variables in the preparatory meeting, before modelling starts.
The schedule is set at the kickoff meeting and depends on storyboard approval, the volume of 3D modelling, and the review rounds your stakeholders need. Storyboard sign-off moves the delivery date more than any other step.
Yes, we work in French and in English and deliver both versions of the same animated video, with voice-over, on-screen text and titles rebuilt for each language. That matters for teams communicating across Quebec, Canada, the United States and Europe.
