FRESH WATER IN OUR CREATIVE POOL ::
Postage would like to welcome Stephen Campbell and Courtland Ellis as the Winter 2010 interns.
Courtland is working towards his associates in specialized technology, visual arts at Hussian School of Art in Philadelphia. He spends some of his time away from studies working on illustration and motion projects with us here at the studio. Courtland is proficient in illustration as it applies to traditional animation and is already a part of a soon-to-be-announced animated short.
Stephen attends Lebanon Valley College and is spending his internship working on in-betweening, 3D modeling/animation as well as programming expressions and scripts for use in general workflow and specific projects.
We are incredibly pleased with both interns as they have a common level of talent, creativity and motivation. Welcome aboard, gentlemen! Postage is currently interviewing two additional interns.

MAJOR CGI UPGRADE AT POSTAGE VFX STUDIOS ::
Early this morning we received our upgraded 3D CGI software capable of interfacing with our tracking and compositing software and feature rich including everything from fur textures to many animation features. This is a huge step in our pipeline as we’ve been pulling out the 3D a little more often these days. The new software will improve workflow for archtectual rendering, CG compositing as well as backgrounds and general animation elements. Stay tuned for some photorealistic and stylized elements in special upcoming productions.
