“ I had the privilege of working with LP through his mentorship program over the last couple of months. As an up-and-coming producer seeking to improve my bidding and budgeting processes, I truly cannot recommend his expertise highly enough.

Coming from the creative side of production myself, it was especially rewarding to gain insights from someone who shares a similar mindset and vision. LP provided not only thoughtful and precise answers to my questions but also a systematic and heartfelt approach to tackling the challenges we so often face in production.

LP brings not just expertise, experience, and a network of amazing people to connect you with, but also a solid and empowering mindset that equips you to approach producing with confidence and clarity, leaving you truly Happy Producing.”

Reinaldo A Mendoza

Owner and Creative Director

Biota Studios

“ I was at a crossroads with Biota. My studio has over 15 years of experience in advertising and corporate animation, but we aspire to create cartoons. I knew what I wanted, with little to no clue how to get to it.

Seeking guidance, I discovered The Happy Producers, with its made-to-Biota mission and vision.

And then I met LP. Working with him is delightful. Within a few weeks, I’ve gained perspective, direction, the tools, and confidence to aim higher. I’ll always be grateful for that! "

“ Thrilled to share that I’ve completed “Bidding Winning Animation Projects” with consultation from Louis-Philippe Vermette, aka “LP” at The Happy Producers! 🎉This course has been truly transformative, equipping me with essential skills in project estimation and bidding, and fostering a more forward-thinking, solution-oriented mindset. A huge thank you to LP for the exceptional and personalized guidance. His ability to tailor the content to my specific needs made the learning experience incredibly relevant and impactful.
As a direct result of this course, I’m now leveraging past project data to inform my bids, which has significantly boosted my confidence and effectiveness not only in the bidding process but also in my role as an Animation Producer.
I wholeheartedly recommend “Bidding Winning Animation Projects” to anyone looking to level up their skills in animation project acquisition."

Romney T. Marino

Independent Animation Producer

"You helped me put years of work in the trenches of animation production into perspective. Scope, complexity, quality, and working at a reasonable pace for the team and all involved…  It enabled me to sound like a competent and informed independent producer."

Marcio Shima

Business Developer of Hype Animation

 
"I meet LP 3 years ago. He was actually my client, overseeing our animation services for a major streamer feature film. Looking back, I see that some of the values he is teaching now [ ], were pretty much real at that time. We were all equals and that enabled us to better solve our problems.

It ain’t easy to be a producer and business developer, and even though I had several bids sent over my career, I still get butterflies for every new one. LP now gives us the guidance to take better control of our business and removing the scary parts by building solid scopes, positioning ourselves as the experts, being objective, data centric and preserving our team."

CARLOS GAXIOLA  

CEO and Founder of Demente Animation

"Your course has been incredibly helpful in understanding how international bidding works. I have been able to consider some expenses that I had previously overlooked, and this has been crucial for my Studio. Additionally, I can better distinguish good-fit projects for my business, and I have improved my communication skills with potential clients. I have learned that just because one project isn't a good fit doesn't mean the next one won't be.

Thank you for your valuable insights and guidance."
