Full-service animation, VFX and motion design studio Radium/Reel FX, Santa Monica/Dallas and 1080, Austin/San Antonio has announced that they have formed a partnership to allow Radium/Reel FX‘s award-winning editors, Peter Tarter, Quan Tran and Gina Rivas, to cut out of 1080‘s top-of-the-line facilities in Austin and San Antonio. Tarter, Tran, and Rivas will continue to be based out of Radium/Reel FX‘s Dallas and Santa Monica studios and cut “on location” with clients all over the country. The partnership gives clients in Austin and San Antonio access to more diverse editorial offerings and fortifies 1080‘s current roster of editors. 1080 will continue to offer clients its online, color-grading, and finishing capabilities on Radium/Reel FX editorial jobs in those cities.
1080 Austin General Manager Tobin Holden recalls, “About a month ago, leadership from both studios sat around a conference table and said, ‘Why not? Seems like a great fit.’ It’s no secret the folks at Radium/Reel FX are a really talented group. We’re very excited about beefing up the editorial roster at 1080. But the real winners are our clients. Same great shop โฆ more firepower.”
Radium/Reel FX Executive Producer Gary Banks adds, “Expanding Radium Edit to Austin and San Antonio solidifies a strong creative editorial presence for both studios. This new partnership gives agencies the flexibility and options demanded by their clients in today’s production world.”
2010 has already proven to be a very successful year for Radium/Reel FX editorial. Editor Quan Tran won AICE’s Best of Dallas category for his work on the :30, Dickies “Wear With Purpose โ George” for Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing, and was nominated in the National Campaign category. Senior Editor Peter Tarter was also a 2010 AICE nominee.
For both Radium/Reel FX and 1080, making these new offerings easy for clients was paramount. Clients can go through their contacts at either Radium/Reel FX or 1080 to take advantage of the expanded editorial services.
