Cinesite!



Hello all

some news for you this month as of last monday (the 18th) I am now an employee of Cinesite London. Its great to be working in Film again, and it looks like im gonna be here for the best part of a year, so should have some exciting new work to show at the end of it all.

Working as a modeller again, but i think it may be straying into texturing before too long, will keep you posted with any news that I can.

In the meantime heres a little about Cinesite:

"Cinesite offices in Hollywood and London were established in 1991 and 1994 respectively, as test sites for Kodak's Cineon computer system, an end-to-end solution for 2K and 4K digital files. Cinesite became so successful in its own right, however, that after Cineon was discontinued by Kodak in 1997, Cinesite developed into a visual effects facility. In 2003, Cinesite's Hollywood branch became incorporated, by Kodak, into LaserPacific, a multimedia, DVD authoring digital intermediate and post-production facility.

Initially, the company worked solely as a visual effects facility for film. Since 1999, it has increasingly become involved in television, creating effects for several productions, including HBO's Band of Brothers in 2002; Rome in 2006, again for HBO; and The State Withi for the BBC in 2006.

The company has won awards for its visual effects, gaining an Emmy Award nomination and a Royal Television Society award for Band of Brothers. Its work for Rome was awarded the Emmy for Visual Effects in 2005."

Cinesite is also part of the visual effects team that won an Oscar for the Golden Compass in 2007
