ShadowCaster is a visual effects and entertainment company based in Santa Barbara, California. Its goal of producing high quality, cutting-edge imagery for the film, television, and multimedia industries is not new. How it achieves that goal however, is what sets it apart from the crowd. ShadowCaster was founded by a core group of experienced artists with a vision. Recognizing the power of individuals to form motivated, synergistic teams to innovate, create, and meet new challenges head-on is the foundation on which ShadowCaster was based.
The founders of ShadowCaster represent years of experience in the design and creation of computer generated visual effects, and have contributed significantly to the evolution of the industry. Their continued achievements have been due in large part to their ability to focus on art and creativity, while embracing the technical underpinning that makes it all possible. ShadowCaster endeavors to continue this evolution by seeking projects whose successful completion requires innovative solutions to meet new challenges.
Creating custom software tools for the visual effects industry is also a primary goal of ShadowCaster. In addition to its own core technology, ShadowCaster has close ties to several major software suppliers, enabling it to stay abreast of, and provide enhancement to even the latest commercially available software.
Providing design and conceptualization services is another focus of ShadowCaster. Recognizing the importance of good design in creating cutting-edge effects, ShadowCaster's production and software departments work hand-in-hand with the art department to ensure that all design, schedule, and budget objectives are attainable.
Organized as three interrelated groups (design, production and software), ShadowCaster can tackle any sized project at any stage of the production cycle. From conceptualization through post-production, the ShadowCaster team can get the job done.
ShadowCaster is located in beautiful and peaceful Santa Barbara, where it offers a work setting for both its clients and employees which is professional, motivating, and enjoyable.
