This was the event that the owner, Andy Vajna has noticed who at the time was occupied with the production of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.  He gave the team a name: Digic Pictures, and after the success of their short film, an opportunity to show their talents making special effects.  For starters, Digic was given 2 special effect shots out of Terminator 3.  Upon success 58 more SFX shots followed.  This was the birth to the creative lab of Digic Pictures, which specialized itself to create computer animation and special effects measured by the highest standards.
