Where Worlds Are Created.


We're a creatively collaborative, full service CG animation studio in Vancouver Canada with an innovative history that spans over 15 years. Originally established as Mainframe Entertainment, the award winning CG company was acquired in 2006 by one of Vancouver's most well known entertainment businesses to become Rainmaker Entertainment.

With over 200 artists, directors and technical staff, our studio provides a full service environment for clients and creative partners. We can do it all - design, casting, recording, modeling, layout, animation, motion capture, lighting and post production. Our highly scalable and adaptable pipeline features artist friendly tools and allows us to create CG animation styles that are unique to each project. We don't limit ourselves.



We Live By a Few Basic Rules.




Founded out of the spirit of innovation in 1993, Rainmaker today continues to strive creatively and technologically to push our company and craft in new, cutting-edge directions. We welcome new ideas and innovative ways of approaching the business.



From our directors, story artists, writers, designers, animators, lighters to assistants, Rainmaker is a company of storytellers. Our studio environment supports collaboration and artistry at every level.



We're constantly evaluating the quality of work being created in our studio in every area of business, challenging ourselves consistently to raise our standards.



We feel a passionate and respectful work environment leads to inspired artists.
