Technicolor Group

Technicolor Group S.A. (formerly Technicolor Production Services, then Technicolor Creative Studios) was a French company of American origin that is involved in visual effects, motion graphics and animation services for the entertainment, media and advertising industries. The company was part of the French Thomson group – which became Technicolor SA and later Vantiva – from 2001 to 2021, when Technicolor Production Services became independent, until it ceased operations in 2025. Headquartered in Paris and Hollywood, it was the successor to the American company of the same name—which later became one of its subsidiaries—founded in 1914 in Boston by Herbert Kalmus, Daniel F. Comstock, and W. B. Westcott, and a pioneer of Technicolor technology. The company used to operate the visual effects, motion graphics and animation units for films, episodic series and video games under their subsidiaries: the Moving Picture Company (MPC), The Mill, Mikros Animation, and Technicolor Games. As of February 2025, it was reported that the UK branch of Technicolor had appointed administrators, and the French company had entered receivership. The company's assets began to be sold off shortly after.
