About The Company

We believe that the most important thing for us is to be a place where we can inspire artists to grow. We're not looking to grow just a business, we want the people involved in the actual production process to develop as full-fledged artists and contribute to our power as a studio that creates first-class entertainment. In addition to providing the best working environment for artists to demonstrate their abilities, we have several veteran artists on-staff with world-class achievements, including former Blizzard Entertainment employees, who provide not only technical instruction, but the education necessary to make sure artists can compete on a global level. In addition to hiring talented artists, we have also introduced a long-term internship-type “apprenticeship program” for enthusiastic students, to further our philosophy to provide the highest quality products and services to our customers.
