Imagineer Systems
Imagineer Systems Limited is a software company that specializes in the development and maintenance of several visual effects (vfx) software applications, used throughout all levels of film, video and broadcast post-production. The company was founded in June 2000 by Allan Jaenicke and Philip McLauchlan. The pair had previously been carrying out joint research, at the University of Surrey, in advanced computer vision technology. By developing mostly specialized (fine-tuning) applications, Imagineer created a versatile product base that was both cross-platform and compatible with other third party tools, editing software, and compositing suites.
The applications produced by Imagineer have been used widely within the film industry, notably within blockbuster movies such as Casino Royale, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and X-Men: The Last Stand.
Famous quotes containing the word systems:
“What is most original in a man’s nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn’t have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
