Pixeldust Studios, a multi-award winning digital animation and broadcast design studio, has recently moved its Bethesda, MD, headquarters into a newly designed and larger office space. Ricardo Andrade, President and Creative Director, Pixeldust Studios, made the announcement.
Concurrent with the move, Pixeldust, now located within a six-thousand square foot, state-of-the-art facility, has also added over 200 terabytes of additional digital storage capability. The company, which employs 25 people in Bethesda, also features four edit rooms and a data ingestion room, and has expanded its render farm to 300 cores. Pixeldust’s new fiber connected Internet pipeline offers a symmetrical 50MB throughput.
Most recently, Pixeldust Studios has provided digital animations and motion graphics for several high profile TV series, including “American Loggers” and “Powering the Future” for the Discovery Channel; “Hoarding: Buried Alive” and “DC Cupcakes” for TLC; “Modern Marvels” for the History Channel; and “Border Wars,” “Dangerous Encounters,” “Explorer: Can the Gulf Survive?” and “Monsterfish” for the National Geographic Channel. Pixeldust also contributed its creative efforts to numerous episodes of production company NHNZ’s program, “Jurassic CSI.”
Says Mr. Andrade, “We were fortunate to have the opportunity to consolidate our office space, which had been spread out, by now placing everyone under the same roof. This greatly improves our work flow process, communication and overall artist collaboration, all of which benefits our clients. Our new facility also allows us room for expansion, so that we can add staff and equipment in the future, to help facilitate additional – and larger – projects.”
Pixeldust Studios’ new location is 4330 East-West Highway, Suite # 350, Bethesda, MD, 20814. The phone is 301/656-0050.
