Canadian Made

Something I found in my basement while puttering around over the Christmas break…

Toronto companies Alias and C.O.R.E are mentioned a few times. If you look hard you’ll find the word “Softimage” somewhere

Canada is home to the high wizards of the nextwave of animation magic, the computer artists who fabricate fantasy from nothing more substantial than the electronic plasma that flickers through a microchip. Using innovative software such as Toronto’s Alias|Wavefront, computer animators like Steve (Spaz) Williams have dazzled and delight audiences in movies including Jumanji and 1994’s The Mask, which earned Williams an Oscar nomination (page 42 [where you’ll see SOFTIMAGE|3D running on his computer])
