Animation Vertigo Sponsors First-Ever International Entertainment Industry Outsourcing Summit

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. - Aug. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- IRVINE, Calif. – August 19, 2013 – Animation Vertigo (http://www.animationvertigo.com/), an outsource management company that provides high quality motion capture and animation artwork to leading entertainment industry companies, recently announced it is sponsoring the External Development Summit (XDS) September 3-5 in Vancouver, Canada. The three-day professionals-only summit aims to promote cooperative advancement of external development for the gaming industry specifically focusing on art, animation and software engineering.

Since its founding in 2004, Animation Vertigo has maintained a topnotch reputation in the entertainment industry. The highly sought-after international business has remained the first and only motion capture company to utilize the talent and resources of world-class artists and editors in the Philippines. Rausch and her team of artists provide motion capture and animation services for leading video games and movies such as Call of Duty Black Ops 1 and 2, Guardians of Middle-Earth, Heavy Rain, and A Christmas Carol. Animation Vertigo’s team of 40 works with leading entertainment industry brands including Warner Brothers, Activision® and Quantic Dream™.

“Utilizing the talents of artists in other countries is a huge bonus for the gaming industry, and a necessity due to the high demand for quality while keeping costs low,” said Marla Rausch, Animation Vertigo president. “We have a full time team of extremely talented artists and animators in the Philippines that has the ability to understand English language nuances and communicate clearly and cleanly, which is crucial in producing games and movies.  Additionally, our team is at the forefront of new technology, which allows Animation Vertigo the ability to continue to be a leader in motion capture services.”

Rausch is a true leader in the topic of outsourcing in the entertainment industry. She believes that some positions need to stay close to home, such as the director’s vision, but the artists she employs possess extremely specialized skills. Animation Vertigo employs a full time team of over 40 artists and animators who can be called upon at a moment’s notice to produce shots quickly and affordably.  Many gaming and production companies in the Unites States hire only for projects and then let their team go once production has wrapped.  This hiring process and building a functional and effective team can take some time.  With Animation Vertigo that time investment is alleviated.

“I’m excited to be part of XDS, the first-ever summit of its kind.  I really hope the summit can shed light on the benefits of external development in the animation industry, and deflect some of the negative connotations that often come with the topic of outsourcing,” Rausch added.
