About TNZPV

TNZPV is a French animation and audiovisual production company founded in Arles in 2010. Originally known as Tu Nous ZA Pas Vus, it also operates under the name TNZPV Productions & Studio. Its work combines animation services and executive production for external partners with the development and co-production of original intellectual properties.

Established by three graduates and longtime collaborators from Supinfocom Arles, now MoPA, the company grew from its beginnings in a family home into a production operation spanning Arles and Annecy. Its second studio opened in 2020, extending its animation capacity while maintaining a shared production approach across both sites.

Animation and production

The studio produces 2D and 3D animation for feature films, television and streaming series, shorts and author cinema. Its capabilities extend from concept development, scriptwriting and artistic direction through storyboarding, visual development, modeling, texturing, rigging and layout. Animation, lighting, rendering, compositing and color grading complete its production offering.

TNZPV supports third-party studios, broadcasters and feature producers through executive production and animation service work. Its broadcaster collaborations include Disney, TF1, France Télévisions and Arte. Alongside commissioned work, the company develops original projects and participates in international co-productions, including literary adaptations.

Its production portfolio includes the short film Pachyderme, co-produced with Folimage and Arte, and feature projects such as Séraphine, The Songbirds' Secret and Merry Christmas Monsieur Hulot. Animation service credits include White Fang, Marona's Fantastic Tale, Nina and the Hedgehog's Secret, The Coop Troop, Gus, the Itsy Bitsy Knight and Team Dronix. For Disney's Magicampers, TNZPV handled CG animation using its Blender-based pipeline.

Beyond screen production, the company offers production facilities and space rental at its renovated former school premises in Arles. These facilities support filming, screenings, training and meetings, complementing its animation and production activities.
