Mastersfx, creator of practical character effects for several Hollywood projects, has just launched a digital division to be led by Andre Bustanoby. Already contributing to several big projects (Twilight: New Moon, Sanctuary, Fringe, Eureka, etc) the new division allows Masterfx to integrate practical effects with digital FX, giving them a more fully rounded offering. Masters had this to say:
“Our new digital group allows our company to integrate the best of both worlds within special and visual effects. There will always be room for practical, on-set effects that include makeups, prosthetics, puppets and other character gags. By enhancing these moments with our digital expertise, our company's contributions to film, TV, commercials and multi-media projects lets us plan every FX design in advance, pre-visualization, so we can best determine the most dramatic—and efficient—element to deliver. We can 'throw all the tools' onto the table, and can then decide which to ultimately deliver to the director.”
