The studio is a complete visual effects production house nestled in a funky but stylish Berkeley industrial district. Our neighbors include artists, sculptors, glass-blowers, woodworkers, and even a bronze art foundry. The ever-expanding facility consists of more than 18,000 square feet of talent and creativity equipped with over 10 tons of computing power. Top performance of this mechanized Armada is maintained by our high speed network and team of factory-certified zealots.
Data management is maximized by our mammoth centralized storage servers with RAID protection.
Keeping the entire imaging process in-house allows us maximum control from start to finish. But, as everyone knows, a high calorie, hardware-only diet must be balanced with a hefty dose of software. Tippett Studio's software philosophy is derived from our experience creating visual effects before the advent of digital tools. Our creative resources are focused on maximizing the use of existing tools, while utilizing innovations that simplify the process of getting the image on film. Our software development team's specialty is creative tools that get the most out of 3rd party software, and optimization tools that streamline our workflow.
