Entity FX Opens Vancouver, Canada - Based Studio

Visual Effects Company Expands with On-the-Ground Services to Maximize Clients and Projects in "Hollywood North"

Santa Monica, California, and Vancouver, British Columbia (December 12, 2006) -- Entity FX, creator of visual effects for motion pictures such as Miami Vice and The Air I Breathe and television series including Smallville, has opened a new studio, providing full-service visual effects supervision and production in Vancouver, British Columbia. The new Canadian facility coincides with the expansion of Entity FX's U.S. operations in Los Angeles and will enhance the company's position in providing theatrical and episodic visual effects work in a market that topped more than $1 billion last year.¹

"We're growing in Los Angeles and now in Canada, too," said Mat Beck, President, Entity FX. "It's exciting to be able to work on projects with all of the advantages of multiple locations."

Entity FX North is located on Hamilton Street in Yaletown, in the heart of Vancouver's historic and production-friendly warehouse district. The office mirrors the same high-quality visual effects resources and expertise available at Entity FX in Santa Monica, and the two studios are wired for seamless cross-collaboration and file sharing.

"With 35 to 75 people in Los Angeles, a growing Vancouver crew and facilities that are linked together with a shared data base, we can offer feature film and television producers a new level of horsepower and flexibility," commented Entity FX Executive Producer Kymber Lim. "With our new interactive tools, the clients and the artists can be anywhere and still share a vision."

Entity FX has provided visual effects for numerous productions in British Columbia, now North America's third largest film and television production hub. According to film commission figures, the province played host to more than 200 productions in 2005, with total productions growing at an annual rate of about 20 percent. In addition to British Columbia's existing business incentives, a new DAVE tax credit passes on 15 percent labor cost savings specifically for digital animation or visual effects.
