scottishgames<p><strong>Halon Entertainment Opens New £28M Glasgow Studio</strong></p><p>A significant development for Scotland’s creative sector has been <a href="https://news.stv.tv/west-central/us-animation-company-halon-entertainment-to-open-28m-studio-in-glasgow" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">announced</a>: Los Angeles-based animation and visualisation company <a href="https://halon.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Halon Entertainment</a> is set to open a new studio in Glasgow. </p><p>Halon Entertainment, known for its work on major productions such as <em>The Batman</em>, <em>The Mandalorian</em>, the <em>Planet of the Apes</em> franchise, <em>Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning</em>, and <a href="https://halon.com/projects/?sps=9060&amp;slf=works&amp;tx_works=15" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">games including</a><em> Fortnite</em>, <em>Borderlands 3</em>, <em>God Of War</em>, <em>League Of Legends</em>, <em>Xcom 2</em>, and <em>Kerbal Space Program 2</em> will invest <strong>£28 million</strong> in the Glasgow studio. This investment is projected to create up to <strong>250</strong> jobs over the next <strong>three</strong> years. </p><p>The company cited several factors for choosing Glasgow, including the city’s skilled workforce in computer graphics, animation, and digital technology, its facilities, and its “world-renowned academic institutions”. </p><p>Halon Entertainment President Chris Ferriter underlined the strategic importance of this expansion:</p><blockquote><p>With production happening across the globe, expanding our full-service studios on both sides of the Atlantic allows us to better support our clients with world-class services and top-tier talent, no matter where projects take them. Our new Scotland studio strengthens our ability to collaborate seamlessly across time zones and deliver exceptional work to even more productions worldwide.</p></blockquote><p>While Los Angeles will remain Halon’s headquarters, the Glasgow studio will complement and strengthen the company’s overall operations. </p><p><strong>Scottish Culture Secretary Angus Robertson said:</strong></p><blockquote><p>[This is] …a huge endorsement of the skills, talent and experience that Glasgow offers and the strength of Scotland’s screen sector overall. It marks a major boost for the digital tech, film, TV and games industries, reinforcing Scotland’s position as a global hub for creative technology. Together with Scottish Enterprise and Screen Scotland, the Scottish Government is committed to accelerating the growth of our screen sector. Inward investment like this is a key driver of that growth and the cultural and economic opportunities that come with that, including hundreds of good, well-paying jobs. </p></blockquote><p>Scottish Enterprise, Scotland’s national economic development agency, is supporting Halon with advisory services and <strong>£3.9 million</strong> in funding towards the project. </p><p><strong>Scottish Enterprise Chief Executive Adrian Gillespie commented: </strong></p><blockquote><p>It’s a huge win that an ambitious US studio has chosen Scotland as its location to expand and scale up. Its presence will enhance the reputation of the country’s digital tech industry, and of Glasgow as a hub of artistic and technical talent. It’s also a brilliant opportunity for animators and visual artists to help develop innovative creative content for movies, series and videogames right here in Scotland.</p></blockquote><p><strong>Screen Scotland also expressed their support, with Executive Director Isabel Davis stating:</strong></p><blockquote><p>We are delighted it has chosen Scotland as its UK base, thanks to the depth of our animation and visual effects talent across film, TV and video games. Scotland’s globally competitive offer is backed up by the UK’s recently-enhanced visual effects tax credit alongside a range of support from Screen Scotland.</p></blockquote><p><strong>Glasgow City Council Leader Susan Aitken added:</strong></p><blockquote><p>Halon’s work is crucial to so many instantly recognisable film and TV blockbusters and it’s hugely exciting that Glasgow is now a centre of production for these global screen successes. I’m delighted that Halon has cited our skilled workforce and world-class learning institutions as a key reason for locating in Glasgow. These and the fact that our city is a fantastic place to live and work is why we continue to be successful in attracting major investment, creating highly skilled jobs and boosting Glasgow’s reputation as an international centre of creativity and innovation.</p></blockquote><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://scottishgames.net/tag/animation/" target="_blank">#animation</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://scottishgames.net/tag/games/" target="_blank">#games</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://scottishgames.net/tag/glasgow/" target="_blank">#glasgow</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://scottishgames.net/tag/scotland/" target="_blank">#scotland</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://scottishgames.net/tag/studio/" target="_blank">#studio</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://scottishgames.net/tag/vfx/" target="_blank">#VFX</a></p>
