TAKEAWAYS

  1. Advanced Motion Capture : PTW and Imaginarium’s new SIDE London facility enables simultaneous dialogue and full-body performance capture, streamlining production and enhancing creative control.

Our PTW Montreal team recently celebrated their fifth anniversary! Between an array of exciting projects and growing to 350+ team members, the journey has been anything but dull, and we’re proud to see how far they have come.

We opened our first official studio in Canada in July 2019, and last year we were thrilled to welcome the newest addition to our PTW family: SIDE Montreal. Today with such a large team across the city, PTW Montreal has become a flagship site for the company worldwide.

To mark and reflect on this five-year milestone, we asked our team to share some of their most memorable experiences, insights on the journey so far, and what the future holds.

A diverse and talented team

Our Studio Head Sébastien Bisch joined the team just over a year ago and has been fostering open communication, championing employee engagement, and overall driving positive change across all our studios in Montreal from day one.

When asked about his favorite part of the job, Sébastien had this to say:

I’m happy to work with video games, which is one of my favorite hobbies. In the Player Support team, we can listen to the voices of players in an intimate way and truly collaborate towards making games better together. That’s been the motivation which has kept me here at PTW for the past 10 years.

Whether it’s been opening a new studio in a different region or acquiring new partners, all of PTW’s achievements have come with their fair share of challenges.

Amith shares one example: “One of the most memorable experiences was when we had to relocate to a new office with very little downtime. It was hectic at times, but it was also fun implementing and learning new technologies, coordinating between teams, and all the excitement and stress that came with shuttling between the two locations. Of the three relocations I’ve participated in, this was the most challenging yet memorable.”
