Portfolio Tips for Mikros Animation

What to show in your portfolio when applying to Mikros Animation.

Match the Style

Mikros works in stylised CG. Show characters, rigs, or lighting that match a toon-shaded or hybrid look. Realistic portfolio pieces are less relevant.

Montreal Office

The Montreal team (CAD 55K-140K) recruits separately. Target applications to the right city and office.

Animation-First

Even for technical roles, Mikros values animators who understand the performance pipeline. Show deformation-aware rigs and shot-integrated FX.

Reel Length

Keep your reel under 2 minutes. Supervisors review hundreds of reels per project cycle.
