Steambot

Who we are

Hi, Nice to meet you

Founded in 2006, Steambot is a creative agency based in Montréal. We develop ideas and provide artistic resources for the Entertainment Industry. As visual directors, we also produce our own intellectual properties and constantly seek for more international collaborations.

Steambot began as a collective of artists sharing the same values: passion, teamwork, and desire to improve our techniques. In 2006, Steambot officially became an independant studio. Over the years, these values led us to collaborate on numerous AAA games and movies such as TRON Legacy, GODZILLA, X-MEN, DEUS EX 3, etc… Today, our accomplishments allow us to be positioned as a leader in the industry because we believe in creativity, challenges and brain connection in order to find the best solutions for our clients.

We recently completed the production of the 8mn-pilot of Urbance, in collaboration with Japan (Yapiko/Animation), France (Spacesheep/Compositing) and Canada (Steambot/Art Direction, BG creation and script). We also have more in the pocket: Exodyssey (Artbook/2009) and Cyan (upcoming comic book), both ready for production. Interested in our projects?
