Looks like movie-making with CGI animation is taking-off. A project a year for Universal! Let's hope they're talking to MFE on one. I guess the look, the economics, the flexible editing capability are finally making inroads. THere aren't many companies that a large studio would talk to that have proven themselves in long-form CGI animation and a few are tied up (Pixar, PDI, Digital Domain, ILM). One has to figure MFE is under consideration for some of this. -------------------------------------- (LOS ANGELES) - Universal Studios is close to forming a subdivision within its movie group to produce a series of new computer-animated features, sources say. The first of at least three such movies will be announced within a month, and negotiations are under way with an unnamed computer animation company to work on the project. Separate companies will be hired to create each movie to facilitate speedier releases. Animated features (including computer-animated movies such as Disney/Pixar's "Toy Story") take two to three years to produce, but hiring separate companies to create each one could allow for one release per year starting in 2000.
