International visual effects company <a href="www.pixomondo.com.>Pixomondo has opened a new flagship studio in Los Angeles, California. Extending its global reach, <a href="www.pixomondo.com.>Pixomondo now has a worldwide network of studios located in Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich and Stuttgart, as well as London and Shanghai, from which it produces feature film, television and commercial visual effects.
The California move represents <a href="www.pixomondo.com.>Pixomondo‘s commitment to world-class feature film visual effects and intent to compete at the highest levels. Situated in the creative heart of Venice, the new studio provides convenience and accessibility for <a href="www.pixomondo.com.>Pixomondo‘s studio clients in Hollywood and allows the company to tap into the talent pool of the L.A. market.
<a href="www.pixomondo.com.>Pixomondo has also announced an impressive 2009 visual effects production slate. The company has been awarded substantial work on the highly anticipated “2012” from director Roland Emmerich and recently delivered “NINJA ASSASSIN” for director James McTeigue. Both films are set to release in late 2009.
After winning more than 700 pre-visualization shots on 2012 in 2008, <a href="www.pixomondo.com.>Pixomondo set up a “stealth unit” in Venice to produce that work in proximity to the filmmakers. When <a href="www.pixomondo.com.>Pixomondo was awarded a share of the film’s visual effects sequences in November, the company decided to commit to the location as a permanent flagship for its future feature film operations.
CEO Thilo Kuther, who founded <a href="www.pixomondo.com.>Pixomondo in 2001, will continue to provide oversight of the company’s global visual effects, in addition to production operations in L.A. Working together with Kuther are the recently appointed managing producer John Parenteau and executive producer and head of business development Joni Jacobson. Both are highly regarded visual effects veterans who will spearhead new business initiatives and cultivate working relationships with studio executives, directors, producers and visual effects and post production supervisors.
Kuther said “Our decision to open a studio in L.A. is a natural evolution of our increasing involvement in feature film visual effects. The economic climate provided us with the opportunity to have not just a presence here, but to take advantage of the tremendous artistic and technical talents the city has to offer. We’ve been very happy with the response we’ve received from the studios and with the quality of the projects we’ve been asked to bid on. All of us at <a href="www.pixomondo.com.>Pixomondo are excited about the future and the opportunity to work on great films.”
With its considerable international experience and network of studios, <a href="www.pixomondo.com.>Pixomondo has positioned itself at the forefront of the changing world of visual effects with an efficient and collaborative workflow that has given rise to a 24/7 production cycle across datelines and time zones.
<a href="www.pixomondo.com.>Pixomondo positions itself strategically in the early stages of project bidding to offer concept, design and sequence visualization, distinguished by the turnaround speed with which it is able to produce a unique brand of highly dynamic pre-visualization, which was used extensively on 2012.
While each of <a href="www.pixomondo.com.>Pixomondo‘s international studios is self sufficient, all bring efficiencies of production, growing local talent bases and economic advantages to the overall entity. This competitive edge translates into financial benefits for company’s client base.
