Framestore CFC launch New York office

Award winning visual effects, animation and post production house Framestore CFC are to open a New York office devoted to their advertising clients.
Framestore CFC Board member and advertising head, Jon Collins will lead the new venture as its Managing Director.
Framestore NY will be based in Varick Street, in the heart of New York's creative industries area, from November 2003.
The company, who have won international acclaim for work including Xbox's 'Mosquito', Levis 'Odyssey', and Chrysler's 'Golden Gate', are creating a New York team made up of key London talent which will later be supplemented by new team members from the New York community. The team will be supported by technology such as Alias' Maya and Discreet's Flame, as well as proprietary production tools for communication, collaboration and pre visualisation.
Jon Collins said: "This is an exciting time for the US advertising industry and for Framestore CFC. We've built a terrifically strong, successful business in Europe and, having led the market there for years, we feel now is the right time to extend our presence to our clients in the US."
