Imagine the fun of combining classic cel animation techniques with the latest digital technology. You begin with pencil and paper just like the old animation masters, working on an animation disk (a special rotating light table). You then digitize pencil tests for immediate feedback to the artist.
Paint backgrounds with traditional media, just because it's fun to splash paint around. Or combine your animation with live action! Then digitally paint, composite and output the frames to a CD ROM, film or videotape. That's how ARG! does TV commercials, motion picture animation, software/multimedia animation and more. Our core group started more than twenty years ago, using cels and film. The hard way. So we appreciate digital media! |
All of ARG's work is ultimately digital, so multimedia comes naturally for us. Our cartoonists, animators and graphics specialists use Pentium PCs, Macs and Amiga animation workstations to bring life to cartoons.
ARG! is a full-service animation studio with over twenty years of motion picture screen credits. We deliver our work in all video formats, plus 35mm and 16mm film. In addition to our proprietary 2D systems, we use Adobe Flash, Wacom Cintiq, Autodesk's outstanding 3D cartoon program Maya, a digital sound effects library, Disney® software and many other great digital tools. If you are an animation student looking for an internship in a working animation studio, check out the ARG! Cartoon Animation Internship Program. If you are selected to participate in this program, ARG! will provide you with guideance, experience as a studio-trained animator, and when appropriate, TV screen credits. In the 14 years ARG! has been working with talented young artists, our former interns have gone on to careers in animation at Industrial Light and Magic, Rhythm & Hues and many other studios, working on major movies, TV shows, video games and much more. |
