The Participants
ADV Films is the leading producer-distributor of Japanese animation in North America. The Japanese anime and game studio Gainax Network Systems was one of the original production studios responsible for “Neon Genesis Evangelion,” and Weta Workshop, Ltd. is the New Zealand-based special effects studio that created the effects for Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
“The three main players here represent something of a ‘dream-team’ for a project like this one,” said Ledford. “Between the quality and significance of the Gainax title, Weta’s industry-leading skill in the creation of special visual effects, and our expertise in the marketing and promotion of anime and anime-related content, this project is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
参与者简介
ADV FILMS是北米最大的日本动漫进口发行商。G社是《新世纪福音战士》的原作者。Weta Workshop是总部设在新西兰的特效工作室,皮特杰克逊的大作《指环王》3部曲里的特效就是他们制作的。
“俺们这三家公司联手,可以说是专门为了(制作EVA)这个大计划而组成的梦之队。”Ledford说:“ 有了G社作品的质量、Weta社世界领先的特效创作水准和俺们公司在日本动画宣传推广上经验3者结合,本计划可以说是一生只有一次的机遇。”
