Couleur.tv

Couleur.tv is an independent animation and immersive multimedia studio founded in Montreal in 2006 by Francis Gélinas. Its work spans 2D and 3D animation, motion design, broadcast packaging, sound design, and fulldome and XR experiences. The studio develops original films and series alongside commissioned content for television, cultural institutions, live entertainment and commercial clients.

Its production capabilities extend from creative direction, concept development and scriptwriting through animation, editing, finishing and audio mixing. Across these disciplines, Couleur.tv creates content for screens, immersive environments and physical exhibition spaces. Projects range from television title sequences and animated branding to museum installations, concert projections and interactive storytelling.

Animation and immersive storytelling

Original immersive productions include Au pays du cancre mou (In the Land of the Flabby Schnook), a virtual reality and 360° dome film directed by Gélinas that received official selections at the Vancouver International Film Festival and Montreal’s Festival du nouveau cinéma. Its wider immersive repertoire includes Le chagrin multicolore (A Colorful Melancholia) and Les Mimistoires, a series developed across animated and dome formats.

The studio also produced NUNAGA Ma terre : récits croisés, an educational animated work addressing the consequences of climate change in Northern Quebec First Nations communities. These productions sit alongside exhibition projects such as Premiers royaumes d’Europe and Mémoires en réserve, which use immersive video projections and visual installations in museum settings.

Broadcast and live experiences

Couleur.tv’s television work includes motion graphics, title design and packaging for productions such as La famille Groulx, Moi j’mange and Sunny up. Its live entertainment portfolio includes stage visuals for Daniel Bélanger’s 2020–2023 tour, video production for Adib Alkhalidey and digital scenography for Igloofest and Montréal en Lumière.

Music video animation and promotional production form another part of its practice, including Garou’s Des choses à dire and motion graphics for Ubisoft La Forge research showcases. Together, these projects reflect a studio working across narrative animation, audiovisual communication and site-specific experiences.
