Mr. & Mrs. Smith Feel The Fusion
Mr. & Mrs. Smith grossed over 50 million dollars in its first weekend at the box office. With special effects believable enough to simulate a relationship between Hollywood's hottest duo, this film is packed with more than action-hero one-liners and a steamy show-down between Brad and Angelina. Intelligent Creatures' President & Visual Effects Supervisor, Raymond Gieringer, talks about why they knew Fusion could handle the job. Click here to read the press release.

Urban Renewal ... CaféFX Helps Build "Sin City"
Director Robert Rodriguez delivers an interpretation of Frank Miller's dim tale of guns and gangsters in the saturated streets of Sin City, resurfacing a film noir sentiment, sans film. Using the original comic as a strict visual guide and Miller as the DP, the film posed challenges in post that called for sophisticated software to tweak even the smallest details.
Digital Dimension wins Emmy
Leading visual effects studio Digital Dimension has won the 2004-2005 Creative Arts Primetime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Special Visual Effects For A Series" for its work on Part 2 of the pilot for the ABC breakout program "Lost."
