What is //ADAPT ONE?

Built to help promote, recruit and finance digital content creators and their ideas to better face a changing visual effects, animation and video-game industry

By Jean-Eric Hénault

The visual effects, animation, and video game industries are evolving rapidly. With the rise of remote work, AI, industry strikes and layoffs, the past few years have been challenging for many. As a result, numerous professionals have been left behind, and my team and I are committed to building a structure to help as many as we can better navigate this transition.

We remain optimistic about the future. Despite the increasing presence of AI, I believe there are numerous new opportunities ahead, and we must all adapt to take full advantage of them. While there are many challenges, there are also plenty of opportunities.

This is why ADAPT One is designed to promote and recruit talent, as well as finance film, animation, and video game projects. Our new premium freelance platform will launch later this year. Featuring innovative recruitment, project management, scheduling, and communication tools, a portion of all funds generated through our platform will be used to help finance and support projects conceived by our members.

During my time at CG Channel, I met many talented artists with dreams of creating their own TV shows, movies, or short films. Very few realized that dream, but I believe that with the right team and adequate funding, supported by our network and the ADAPT Fund, we can help them achieve their goals while retaining ownership of their ideas. Our aim is to involve both freelancers and clients in this process, offering major film studios, streaming platforms, and video game distributors more opportunities to discover the next big thing, while we take on the risk of pursuing bold and crazy new ideas.
