MPC will be opening the doors of its new creative studio in New York with a complete range of integrated services.  In addition to the world class Visual Effects work the company is known for, the studio will tap into the global MPC network of creative talent and resources to provide Color Grading and Digital, Design and Production Services across the US markets.

The new studio will occupy 13,000 sq ft of purpose-built space on the 8th and 9th floors of a stunning turn-of-the-century renovated shoe factory in the heart of SoHo.

VFX Services will provide Flame/Nuke, Maya/3D studio Max, Motion Graphics, FX Design, Animation and Data-Lab services.  The New York studio will also continue to provide the US market with access to MPC’s world-renowned Color Grading talent, including Mark Gethin, Jean-Clement Soret, Paul Harrison and George K, both locally and through remote services.

US Based Broken Switch Studios has launched their new iOS title Bubble Trolls on the Apple App Store. iPhone and iPod touch versions are 99c; the iPad version is $1.99. Also, a free Lite version is available.

Bubble Trolls is a physics-based arcade-style game where the player must help a Troll travel downstream to his home via a Bubble Taxi. The player creates ripples by tapping the water to move the bubble past a myriad of hazards determined to pop the bubble or eat the Troll. Players are aided along the way with power-ups that make the bubble harder to pop or float in the air.
