TUE 08 Jan 2008 | 7 - 9PM
Venice, CA


Join us for the 2007-08 Studio Tour series and be inspired by the amazing work being created here in our own backyard! Mix and mingle with like-minded designers while enjoying light snacks and beverages. Learn about the inner workings of established studios, see where their magic happens, and acquire the answers to your burning questions.

This year we are putting together a roster of studios that will span the spectrum of design concentration in LA. In our exploration of studios ranging from emerging new media firms to established multi-disciplinary agencies, you'll find a tour that interests you most.


Second up in our inspiring 07/08 series is the Westside creative team Subgiant.

Subgiant is a 2d / 3d / animation and live action production company in Venice CA.
The key members of the team are:

P.J. Wilson (Executive Producer / Partner)
Alex Vilgertshofer (Marketing + Sales / Partner)
Omar Acosta (Creative Director)
Keely McCullough (Producer)
Huy Dang (Director / Designer)
Justin Maller (Designer)

Subgiant is different – they are a 2d/3d animation and live action production company combined with an advertising agency, which allows them to handle everything from concept to execution on projects. They create animation, live action and visual effects to electrify the consumers eye continuously; but don’t lose site of client needs. From concept to delivery, Subgiant works hand in hand with the client to consistently deliver the right combination of innovation and design.

Their work consists of four unique styles from different individual creative talent, so clients are able to choose the style that meets their needs on any project. Their vibe is clean and simple – they let the work speak for itself. Inspired by their love for art, fashion, culture and music, they are also heavily influenced by the surf/skate/snow industry. They are currently working with companies like Quiksilver, RVCA and Vans, introducing them into a whole new world of animation and advertising.

After attending this event, I was wondering...
How does AIGA Los Angeles pick the agencies featured in the Studio Series?

Hi Jane,

In answer to your question...
We start with a list of studios and firms that have been mentioned to us by various sources as popular or interesting to our membership.

This year we then divided the list into categories so we would make sure as best as possible to represent a range of design disciplines.

At that point we contact the studios and solidify the list based on which studios are interested in participating.

We try to keep each studio tour to a general format, however, there's always a degree of difference in each based on the involvement of the hosting firm.

We definitely welcome suggestions for future tours! Feel free to send an email via this site if you have recommendations. Also, if you'd like to volunteer with Studio Tours, you can sign up via this site for that as well.

Thanks!
- Sarah Lamont, Studio Tour Chair
