Animation Admittedly, many businesses do not have the need for cutting-edge animation. However, if you want to dazzle a new client with an animated logo or proof of concept, then look no further than Foothill Media   With nearly 20 years experience working with 3D, we can create anything from a prototype to a Hollywood-style animation to lend cutting-edge style to any project. We use Discreet's MAX and Newtek's Lightwave to create photorealistic animations and illustrations. Think Toy Story or the Incredibles and you'll get an idea of the quality. As animation is time-intensive, it is often not realistic for many projects. However, we would be happy to give you a free quote for an animation project so that you can decide for yourself if its right for you.

Animation Portfolio The animation samples presented here are in Windows Media format. There is some degradation of the animations as a result of the encoding process; a necessary evil to trim file size down to a manageable (downloadable) size. Space Probe Lo Bandwidth Space Probe Hi Bandwidth: While I'm still not happy with the score and I still have to finish animating the first and ending sequences, here's a little more from a project I'm tinkering with for fun Synteleos Opener: I created this animation to be used as a promotional opener for presentations. The animation incorporates the logo I created for them. 565 Prototype: An early test animation of a car that I designed and modeled. Camstar Promo 1: I worked for Camstar Systems as their multimedia specialist and this animation was one of my first efforts for them. Camstar had recently created a new logo and was shooting for a high-tech profile. Within a year, that identity had changed which resulted in the Promo 2 below. Camstar Promo 2: Camstar had enlisted the artist David Lesh to create illustrations for a new identity campaign. I was asked to create a short promotional animation incorporating this artwork.

Animation Rates Animation is a time-intensive process and as such, a cost-intensive one as well. While most animation studios will charge for rendering time - with the rationale being that no other rendering can take place during that time - we bill for man hours. The difference may not impact the final bill to a great degree, but every little bit helps.   Our animation rate is $75 per hour with most jobs quoted on a per-project basis.
