make visual effects


Make, inc. was incorporated in 2001. The idea was to create a boutique like studio that could expand depending on the production demand. Both the owners worked for larger companies and noticed that it was really hard to stay in business with expensive hardware, software, a large overhead and low margins. The visual effects industry was changing and a new kind of paradigm needed to be created to survive the new economic reality. The essential ingredient to keep was the quality of the work. The second important variant was to be expandable, yet to keep a skeleton overhead. The third was to use all the tools to streamline communication and turn around. The fourth was to always deliver and build long lasting relationship with clients. Rusty is the lead artist and the supervisor of the company, he is passionate and loves to cooperate with directors and clients to give life to their visions,. He works harder than anyone as each image he crafts carries his name and reputation. Many of our friends and clients are closing their doors, a lot of very talented individuals are jobless, so we are truly grateful to have been constantly busy for the last ten years. So to our clients, our friends, our incredible team and technical support we would like to say thank you and we hope to work with you for many years to come.
