Moving Picture Company

The Moving Picture Company (MPC) was a British, later French visual effects and computer animation studio based in Paris. A subsidiary of TransPerfect, the company, alongside specializing in visual effects and computer animation, also provides motion graphics and other services for film, television, brand experience, and advertising. Their artists have produced Academy Award-winning work for films including 1917, The Jungle Book and Life of Pi. It was headquartered in London with facilities located in Los Angeles, New York City, Toronto, Montreal, Bangalore, Mumbai, Adelaide, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin and Shanghai. It is now headquartered in Paris following Technicolor's bankruptcy. In February 2025, news reports have stated that MPC's parent company, Technicolor Group, had appointed administrators. It was unclear what the consequences of this will be for MPC. Technicolor Group had later shut down its operations, including MPC, as the result of “experiencing difficulties” due to “post-Covid recovery, a costly and complex separation from the previous group followed by the writers’ strike”. In March 2025, TransPerfect acquired the French assets of MPC. This sale also included their Belgian studio, but not their operations in the United Kingdom, Canada, United States, India, or Australia. As of June 2026, TransPerfect has announced that the company would be absorbed into The Mill.
