ITM Creatives has launched its own website to make using its talent search facilities easier.
The artistic division of International Talent Management encompasses freelance artists, animators and related technicians from the video games, film and television industries.
ITM Creatives' selling point is that it charges a "low and appropriate" commission to freelancers, and no commission at all to the hiring company.
The agency's head, Max Meltzer, believes that it is time for unreasonable deals, specifically within in the games industry, to be replaced.
"Artists and animators are within one of the most abused work brackets across the entertainment industries. This is, in terms of pay, restrictive contracts and rates charged by talent and recruitment agents."
"This is a talent agency, not a recruitment agency, and we're one of the first to primarily operate in the video games industry. The website is the base where ethical practices between games studios and talent come together."
The site's search tool allows producers to search based on location, profession and availability.
