The Moving Picture Company (MPC) is a multinational company that provides visual effects, CGI, computer animation, motion design 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.
As of February 2025, news reports have stated that MPC's parent company 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.
