Frantic Films Corporation is a Canadian branded content and live action production company based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Frantic Films is known for producing live action reality shows, documentaries and for its past work in feature film visual effects. ==History== In 1997 Frantic Films was founded by Ken Zorniak, Chris Bond, and Jamie Brown. The company initially produced work for commercial clients such as Procter & Gamble and created CGI for ''Stephen King's Storm of the Century''.〔(Ken Zorniak )〕 In 2001 Frantic Films garnered international attention after creating stunning visual effects sequences for the blockbuster film ''Swordfish''.〔 Also in 2001 Frantic Films founded a Research & Development division that would focus on creating software and tools for future visual effects projects. Since its inception the R&D division has produced a large suite of in-house and commercial software. Early efforts were focused on ''Deadline'' (a commercial render farm management tool) and ''Flood'' (an in-house fluid simulation tool). In 2004, Flood was said to be one of the top three fluid simulation tools in the world.〔(NRC-IRAP - Innovation leaders - 2004 - Frantic Films, Winnipeg )〕 In 2007 the Visual Effects and R&D/Software divisions were acquired by the Prime Focus Group and Frantic Films stopped all visual effects and previsualization projects. The software division has since been acquired by Thinkbox Software, a small company owned by Frantic Films co-founder Chris Bond. As of 2007 Frantic Films has focused primarily on live action and branded content. In 2009 Frantic Films acquired ''Red Apple Entertainment'', enabling rights over Red Apple's syndication catalog and mode of production. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frantic Films」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
