Mongrel FX LLC will operate as a unique training center that will train prospective animators in the art and technology of open source CG Animation and visual FX productions. As Mongrel FX continues to develop it’s unique production pipeline, the company will also design workshops that relate to all facets of production. Never has there been an animation studio that will give unprecedented transparancy in it’s operations. This new dynamic will not only bring about a new generation of CG Artists that are fully equiped with the knowledge to create their own productions but will also spur on a new level of creativity in the entertainment industry.
Mongrel FX is confident that by adopting the culture of the Open Source community, it can make a positive impact on the CG community as a whole. This mode of operation will also challenge the company itself to stay ahead in developing new content that is ground breaking. This training center dynamic is setup to foster local talent and canvas for prospective marketable ideas for new productions. Students with the commercially viable project that is in line with Mongrel FX’s vision will then be brought in and given the attention and resources he or she needs to succeed in the endeavor. The main CG Application that Mongrel FX plans to train artists in will be Blender. An open source CG application that rivals Maya and other industry standard apps. It is estimated that Blender gets downloaded over 2.5 million times a year. World wide there is an expansive user base; however there is a great need for training in this application as it gets an even larger user base. |
