Bejoy Arputharaj, marvels at this moment, “I'm beyond excited to announce the acquisition of Tippett Studio and collaboration with Phil Tippett. Phil Tippett's unparalleled legacy in crafting cinematic marvels like Willow, Jurassic Park, and Starship Troopers has always been a profound inspiration for me. This partnership not only signifies a remarkable stride forward for PhantomFX but also heralds a new era of innovation and creativity for Tippett Studio. With our combined resources, expertise, and passion, we're poised to revolutionize the VFX industry, delivering groundbreaking projects that will captivate audiences worldwide. With Tippett Studio's strong pipeline of orders, we are excited to push the boundaries of what is achievable, redefine industry standards, and create enduring works of art. Our joint efforts will pave the way for new possibilities and limitless potential for greatness. We are thrilled about the extraordinary opportunities that lie ahead and can't wait to create works of art that will stand the test of time”
Gary Mundell, CEO of Tippett North America, shares this enthusiasm, “Our partnership with PhantomFX marks a monumental milestone for us. Our dedication to delivering top-tier VFX and post-production services remains steadfast, and this collaboration opens up thrilling avenues for innovation and expansion. We'll showcase PhantomFX's innovative and artistic prowess on a global scale within the entertainment industry. By uniting our strengths, we're embracing the transformative potential of collaboration, proving that diverse studios can redefine the entertainment landscape. The acquisition is driven by their strategic objective to establish a robust presence in the fiercely competitive U.S. and Hollywood markets. While Indian VFX studios like PhantomFX contribute significantly to major streaming platforms such as Marvel and Netflix, there persists a perception that India primarily offers technical support rather than creative input. By partnering with Tippett, PhantomFX aims to challenge this perception and showcase its innovative and artistic capabilities on the global stage”
