International Studio of the Year Award Premio Studio Internazionale dell’Anno
Studio Fortiche
Founded in 2009 by Jérôme Combe, Pascal Charrue and Arnaud Delord, Fortiche is an animation studio based in Paris, Montpelier and Las Palmas. For several years, the main work of this French studio has focused on the animation of clips and commercials, always characterized by an unmistakable style which blends 2D and 3D animation. In addition to directing music videos such as La Gaviota for the French band Limousine and DoYaThing for the British band Gorillaz, Fortiche is beginning to produce trailers for various video games, including Agents of Mayhem and Wildstar. In collaboration with Riot Games, the studio has released several clips aimed at promoting League of Legends, the famous MOBA available since 2009. Over the years, Fortiche has also directed music videos K/DA - POP/STARS, RISE and warriors and the trailers EKKO SECONDS and GET JINXED, mastering a distinctive artistic style that would be reused in Arcane: League of Legends, an animated series released in 2021 on Netflix. The attention to skilfully mixing 2D and 3D animation, the meticulous care over the realization of fantastic universes in which to lose oneself and of characters representative of every aspect of diversity and inclusiveness in the representation of multifaceted yet never caricatural personalities fully express the peculiarities of the works produced by the studio.
