SIDE CITY, 385 Place d’Youville, suite 300, Montréal (Québec) H2Y 2B7
Longueuil, 1er septembre 2011.-
L’entreprise Side City Studios vient tout juste de compléter son déménagement dans ses nouveaux locaux du Vieux Montréal mais depuis hier, elle a surtout de nouveaux partenaires financiers pour lui permettre de réaliser son plan de développement des affaires avec sa clientèle internationale.
Fondée en 1999 par Luc Larouche et Alain Limouzin, l’entreprise est rapidement devenue une étoile de son secteur d’activité. Dans les dernières dix années, les fondateurs ont solidement développé leur expertise dans des créneaux de marché porteurs.
Les nouveaux partenaires financiers sont confiants de voir Side City Studios confirmer son leadership technologique auprès de sa clientèle internationale.
Side City is a digital production environment with multidisciplinary expertise and an approach as unique as its location in historic Old Montreal. The place where creations come to life and are marketed – the working conditions and quality of life – are all vital to the excellence of the company’s services.
Its production teams are outstanding professionals who work in constant synergy. They unite rapid execution with meticulous attention to detail to meet the company’s high standards of quality. Side City’s specialists are recruited according to a painstaking selection process. To ensure continued synergy and a multidisciplinary approach, the company hires only those most likely to integrate well with the existing teams.
Working at Side City studios is widely considered a privilege. Artists are known as the best, as are their sophisticated creations. All combine artistic talent with technical prowess in their varied fields: design, scripting, illustration, graphics, 3D, editing and animation. These same essential qualities distinguish the project managers, coordinators, team leaders, artistic and technical directors, programmers and integrators.
Side City’s approach to work is based on two strengths:
1. Maintain close relationships with clients, which has fostered loyalty. The method is foolproof: to maintain clients’ trust, the company provides them with quality productions that meet their expectations on all counts. But the best proof of the success of this approach is the reaction – Wow! – to presentations and seamless processes to complete a production. Clients can focus on their own tasks because they know they are supported by a highly motivated team.
2. Make full use of the company’s knowledge and experience by combining expertise in 3D, video games, HD production and new media. Side City both embraces advances in technology that could benefit various sectors of the industry, and capitalizes on curiosity and passion to discover new fields of application. This is what could be referred to as technological creativity. The more the company works closely on projects with its partner clients, the more it jointly develops new fields of expertise that improve and broaden its range of services.
This partnership with clients has enabled Side City to break into a variety of markets:
- Games of chance for lottery corporations and casinos
- High-definition (HD) interactive video and television production
- Visual scenography
- Digital cinema
- Digital signage
- Video games on console, PC and online
- Games and applications for the iPhone
