Tiny houses. Last time I saw Tigar Hare (say hi to Michael Tigar from his old Moguls buddy Bruce) It was being run out of a rented residential house in Sherman Oaks.

What do the big boys use? The places that can get anything they want. What does Weta use? What does Pixar use? What does Blue Sky use? What does Tippet use? What does DreamWorks use? What does Disney use?

Shake.

The ones not using shake (ILM, Sony), are using custom software the've written themselves.

(Sorry to drop names there, but you dropped them first. If you want a pissing-contest, wait till I've unzipped. :wink: )

Now, now, I did some freelance work for Tigar Hare and they are a small house and actually things are pretty sketchy there because of mismanagement, but are you calling Rezn8 and Digital Dimension tiny houses? When I was at Rezn8 I worked on tiny jobs for tiny clients like CBS, FOX, The Olympics, a couple of Superbowls (who watches the superbowl anyways). And Digital Dimension has been taking allot of the effects work away from the big boys in the last couple of years. They just recently did Mr and Mrs Smith starring Brad pitt and Angelina Jolie. You're asking me what the big boys use and I won't pretend to know because I'm not there. I just emailed my buddy Dave Humpherys at ILM to find out what they use there. Dave was always a big Digital Fusion guy when we used to work at Rezn8 but i don't know what the standard is at ILM.

Here go a couple of those places you are calling tiny houses

By the way, I won an emmy award at one of those tiny houses so there work must not be so insignificant.
