The gearing up of product utilizing 3D, the latest technology in the film industry’s objectives for augmenting new experiences to the cinema going audience, sees a number of independent companies at Cannes selling a variety of offerings. One such company is CritterPix™ Studios.
Based in Marin County, CA CritterPix™ Studios is a next-generation, low-cost,
high-quality animation studio focused on G and PG-rated family films. Founded in
2003 by CEO Kelly Alan Williamson, the company’s core expertise is using 3D-CG
(computer-generated) technology to make its movies.
One of the hurdles of 3D is the generally high cost involved in the process.
Kelly Williamson of CritterPix has developed a business model based on strong
content creation, for developing and producing high quality 3D-CG films more
cost effectively.
The company’s first feature film is Ollie the Otter™, based on the children’s
novel. With an environmental theme like Happy Feet or Free Willy, Ollie the
Otter must save his family from natural and human threats. Having been taken
from his wild home environment, similar to little Nemo’s plight in Finding Nemo,
Ollie and a group of domesticated animals must find their way back home.
Out-muscled, outsized, and outmatched, Ollie emerges a hero while learning that
no true leader can do it alone.
CritterPix™ Studios’ other properties include Hollywood Vermin™ and the rights
to Spy Guy ™.
CritterPix™ Studios can be found in the Short Corner at the Palais. |
