#MartinF's new gig
16 messages in this thread
hello all!
I thought some of you might be interested that I'm now working at Metrolight
Studios as the "3d Studio Production Manager". Some of you may be familiar with
Metrolight, but if not I'll fill you in. They are a Special Effects and
Animation production company based in Hollyweird, Ca, USA. They've won all kind
of awards (Oscar and Monitor awards) for their work and until now have only
concentrated on high-end film and broadcast TV work using SGI hardware and
Wavefront, Alias, Renderman etc. Examples of their work can be found on the
"Mind's Eye" series of video and include "Total Recall", "Starquest", "Moe's
World", and much more.
They've decided to start a new division focusing on interactive entertainment,
and low/mid end film and TV work. The division is going to be PC-based using 3d
Studio (naturally) and I was fortunate enough to be picked to get the new
division's hardware and software off the ground.
What does this mean to you? Well, I'm putting together a resource list of
freelancers, contractors, and interns who would be interested in working
in-house or, in special cases, off-site on top-notch projects. I intend to
maintain the high-quality visuals that Metrolight has become for famous for –
only on the PC platform.
Interested animators, modellers, producers, art directors (in the USA or
International) should contact me via e-mail or send demo reels to:
Metrolight Studios,
5724 West Third, Suite 400
Los Angeles, CA 90036-3043 USA

Good thing you didn't move to Australia.

They couldn't have picked a more mutant kinda guy… Congratulations!
If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know. Metrolight is one
of the 6 largest 3D CGI production houses in the world, and it's a kick to be
part of their new division.

Yes, their work has been stellar, mainly due to phenomenal art direction. I
face the biggest challenge of my 3d career so far to make this division viable
and maintain their reputation for top quality 3d. I hope I'm up to it 🙂
