Mainframe Studios is a Canadian animation studio headquartered in Vancouver, which started at the bleeding edge of computer graphics. The studio was founded in 1993 to produce ReBoot, the first TV series entirely animated in 3D. For over a decade, the studio operated under the name Rainmaker Entertainment, but has returned to its roots as Mainframe Studios. Recent productions include Octonauts: Above & Beyond, Unicorn Academy, SuperKitties, Cocomelon as well as the studio’s first 2D animated series, The Guava Juice Show.

At the time of writing, the studio is gearing up to hire a 3D Lighting Artist, Keyframe Animation Artist and a Keyframe Animation Director in Vancouver. We took this opportunity to reach out to Christine Huot, Director of People and Talent at Mainframe Studios. Christine oversees and advises on HR strategies for the studio, which provides work for around 350 employees across Vancouver and Ontario. We invited Christine to offer her advice as a recruiter to artists applying to work with a crew like Mainframe Studios.
