What we do around here
We're a small team with a diverse set of skills and a passion for crafting effective visuals using animation, compositing, VFX, and the kitchen sink.
Our work is always expanding to new mediums - if there is a way we can put at least a few pixels on it, in it, or around it, we're interested in coming up with creative ways to make those pixels look great.
We focus on work that is engaging and interesting - both for us and our clients. We value time spent experimenting and tinkering between projects, with software, hardware, and new mediums.
We also like to wear black t-shirts while having our picture taken, often with our arms crossed.
Conveniently located at the ends of the earth.

Sometimes people tell me I look like Corey Feldman.

A stickler for organization and attention to detail, you will tremble in fear if you put a file in the wrong place on his watch. And don't even think about trying to take a cheap shortcut somewhere in production - you do one thing the way you do everything.

Challenge coins are really cool.
ADRIAN WINTER
One of the rare instances when Adrian is a man of few words is when it comes time to write a bio.
He's also highly motivated to fix things that don't look right, so don't count on this temp bio staying here for long.
