Shop Offers Visual Effects And Broadcast Design
By Kristin Wilcha
NEW YORK --Wildstyle, a visual effects and design shop, has opened in New York in the same space occupied by wild(child) Post, an editing house with graphics, Inferno/Flame, and audio services. Yvette Pineyro, president/editor of wild(child), is also president of wildstyle.
Although the companies share space and ownership, they are separate entities. While clients cutting with wild(child) editors can utilize the services of wildstyle, the new shop will also work with outside clients. “Wildstyle is a stand-alone company offering services to a wide range of clients in addition to the editorial clients that come to work at wild(child) Post,” says Elissa Muddell, executive producer of wildstyle. “It has become increasingly important to be able to offer a full range of services under one roof. This gives our editorial clients the opportunity to work and collaborate with our team of designers and it allows a seamless workflow between editorial, visual effects and audio in one facility.”
Gene Nazorov, who formerly spearheaded the 3-D department at the New York office of Brand New School, serves as creative director of wildsyle. Jim Foster is director of design and visual effects. Rounding out wildstyle are: art director Gregory de Maria, animator Orges Kokoshari, and Flame artist Martin Lazaro. “The philosophy is to combine the European creative touch with the American fast-track working dynamic,” explains Nazarov. “We are taking our passion for art and applying it to thought-provoking advertising, where complex visual effects and live action can combine seamlessly.”
Daria Zeliger serves as director of sales for both wild(child) and wildstyle, as well as their sister audio division Mac Sound.Alec Baldwin Urges Judge To Stand By Dismissal Of Involuntary Manslaughter Case In “Rust” Shooting
Alec Baldwin urged a New Mexico judge on Friday to stand by her decision to skuttle his trial and dismiss an involuntary manslaughter charge against the actor in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of a Western movie.
State District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case against Baldwin halfway through a trial in July based on the withholding of evidence by police and prosecutors from the defense in the 2021 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film "Rust."
The charge against Baldwin was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can't be revived once any appeals of the decision are exhausted.
Special prosecutor Kari Morrissey recently asked the judge to reconsider, arguing that there were insufficient facts and that Baldwin's due process rights had not been violated.
Baldwin, the lead actor and co-producer on "Rust," was pointing a gun at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal when it went off, killing her and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has said he pulled back the hammer — but not the trigger — and the revolver fired.
The case-ending evidence was ammunition that was brought into the sheriff's office in March by a man who said it could be related to Hutchins' killing. Prosecutors said they deemed the ammunition unrelated and unimportant, while Baldwin's lawyers alleged that they "buried" it and filed a successful motion to dismiss the case.
In her decision to dismiss the Baldwin case, Marlowe Sommer described "egregious discovery violations constituting misconduct" by law enforcement and prosecutors, as well as false testimony about physical evidence by a witness during the trial.
Defense counsel says that prosecutors tried to establish a link... Read More
