Studio Visit: Psyop and Massmarket

12/11/09

Whilst in New York we got the opportunity to go and visit the studios of sister companies Psyop and Massmarket. We were shown around the studio, where there were lots of people working. These included flame artists, 3D designers and compositors we were shown a show reel of their work. The work was extremely professional and interesting to watch. Both their range of work and the type of work was varied and their were a few pieces that stood out to me.

We were met by a lady called Kimmy when we arrived at the studios, who was involved with the PR side of the company and had been there since the start when it was set up by the companies founders. It was a great experience to be within the studio as this was the first time that I had been on a proper studio visit. It was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, however it was still clear that they had a lot of respect for the fact that they were in a professional environment too. They even had dogs running around the studio, 4 or 5 if I remember rightly, which gave the studio a real family orientated feel!

This is one of the pieces that they have created and by far was one of my favourite piece that they showed us:

It was an intriguing session and was an eye opener into the industry. Kimmy was interested in asking us questions and getting us involved and said that she would be happy for any of us to send our work over to her to get feedback on it, which is good to know.
