What Mikros Image does

Mikros Image, operating commercially as MPC Paris, is a France-based visual effects (VFX) production and post-production studio headquartered in Levallois-Perret. Founded in 1985, the company provides end-to-end VFX services for feature films, television series, and streaming platform productions, spanning compositing, CG character creation, environment and world-building, and digital effects. Its underlying capability is a project-based VFX production pipeline delivered by artist teams under VFX supervisors, with visible recent credits on The Last Duel, Emilia Pérez, Under Paris, The Nun 2, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Troll 2, and Dracula: A Love Tale.

The studio operates as the dedicated film and series VFX division within the TransPerfect Media group, following the 2025-2026 unification of MPC and The Mill under a single TransPerfect-owned brand. MPC Paris generates revenue through contracted VFX project work for film studios, streamers, and independent production companies, with pricing determined per project based on scope, complexity, and shot count; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The customer base is concentrated in enterprise-tier content buyers (Netflix, AMC, Studiocanal, Pathé, and major French/European distributors), and ancillary revenue is captured through the TRIP service, which facilitates French tax rebate access for international productions.

The studio's go-to-market is enterprise field sales, built on direct relationships with production decision-makers and reinforced by Cannes Film Festival presence (18+ years), industry awards, showreels, and social channels. Strategic partnerships include GAN Foundation (cinema patronage) and Alice Vision (computer vision and 3D reconstruction technology). No proprietary software, AI products, or patents are disclosed; the value proposition rests on creative talent, brand reputation, and demonstrated capacity on prestige productions.
