Services & Facilities
Dick Ford Animations produces computer animated graphics and character
animation for advertising and television productions. We produce finished
commercials for some clients and we provide graphic elements for others.
Whatever.
We've created computer graphics and animation for major corporations
and products: International Paper, Canon, Mercedes, Sony, Johnson &
Johnson, Tonka, plus lots of banks, hospitals, medical companies, utilities,
and businesses. you'll certainly be in good company when you have us do
our magic for you.
When deadline demands and budget allows, we can bring a Silicon Graphics
or Sony workstation to your facility; we can plug directly into Avid or
other post production equipment. This is great for the gee-wiz factor;
clients love it. It speeds up the design process.
For most projects previews of work in progress can be seen at an internet
page for your eyes only. You can see changes in minutes. It's almost like
having a graphics/animation suite in the next room. See these samples from
medical
projects.
Awards? We've won buckets of them. The sample reel shows work which
has been part of award-winning projects, from awards everyone knows (such
as Emmy) to industry-specific awards which you have to explain to outsiders
that the award is 'prestigious'. Some of the animations have shown at international
film festivals, including Cannes.
Can't wait to see it, can you? Call us. Write us. Send email.
