Creative directors Danny Yoon and Duy Nguyen, and executive producer Mike Pryor have renamed their boutique visual effects and postproduction company and moved to new digs in Santa Monica. Formerly known as 1.1 VFX, the company will now operate as Mr. Wolf and work out of new headquarters located within the offices of commercial production company Bully Pictures. The company offers visual effects, compositing, editorial finishing and digital color correction.
1.1 VFX was founded in 2005 as the finishing arm of Motion Theory and continued on at edit house Cutters. Now in its new space as Mr. Wolf, the company plans to target clients across all media. Mr. Wolf’s credits include the recent feature hit American Hustle as well as television work for From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series and the FXX series Ali G Rezurection. Commercial work includes spots for Toyota, Jaguar, Fiat, Burger King and Pizza Hut.
Bully Pictures provides live-action production for commercials and digital content, including recent work for such brands as Comcast, Verizon, Nissan, Holiday Inn, Kohl’s and Home Depot. But as Bully often produces projects that include visual effects and postproduction components, it will be able to offer added value to its clients by teaming with Mr. Wolf.
