Visionary Cinema Debuts Animation Division

Glendora, CA, September 24, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Visionary Cinema, the film-video-publishing production company based in Southern California, has recently debuted a 2D and 3D animation division. Created wholly in-house, the animation division will provide shorts and features in both traditional animation and computer-generated animation.

Previous Visionary Cinema animation projects include Monster Kids, Abbott and Costello Meet the Monsters, and the upcoming feature Dox E. Dog. Since 1995, Visionary Cinema has also created videos and documentaries for entities including Universal Studios Home Entertainment, Summit Entertainment, and Warner Bros.

Of the animation division debut, project coordinator Scott Essman said, "We have been in live-action filmmaking and videomaking for 20 years now," noting Visionary Cinema's founding in 1989 in New York and eventual relocation to Southern California, "so it was natural to expand our breadth into animation."

Visionary Cinema is a full-service production house, responsible for all stages of a multimedia project from idea conception, to screenwriting, casting and crewing, complete production, and post-production, including all graphics and effects.

The new animation division is streamlined with a business model that is based on uniting a group of freelancers from multiple backgrounds. "Our animators are skilled in both the classical traditional methods of hand-drawn work," Essman added, "plus the advent of computer-generated imagery for new projects. In addition to all necessary support staff, we have ten full-time computer animators and twelve full-time hand-drawn animators. We can handle most any size project, from creating the characters and environments from scratch, through to full animation. And our costs are minimal as our overhead is nearly non-existent."

Visionary Cinema welcomes new ideas and projects of small-to-mid-sized budgets. "We are interested in any and all types of projects," said Essman. "We have been the go-to guys for live-action, with over 60 videos on YouTube and available on Amazon, and clients can expect the same passion, quality services, and great prices and turnaround in our animation projects."
