Production Services

Since opening in 1989, our goal has been to create and nurture a community of talented animation artists.

Nonlinear Editing

Whether using traditional or digital elements, we edit our own projects as well as industrial films, commercials, documentaries, and music videos all in house using the latest technology.

We have three dedicated edit stations, drawing on a variety of programs: Adobe Premiere Pro, Speed Razor, Toaster Edit, and now Final Cut Pro.

Editing is only part of the process, and so for motion graphics and animation, we rely on the latest versions of Adobe’s After Effects, Boris Effects, and Flash.

We own several of the best sound effect libraries with over 9,000 sounds. Included are the Janus, Warner Brothers, Hanna-Barbera, Turner Entertainment, Rocky & Bulwinkle, Amadeus, Saul Zaentz, and 20th Century Fox libraries. We also have music soundtrack library collections from Sound Ideas and Flying Hands.
