Rhinoceros Raises Staff By 5

files/pictures/picture-35.jpgRhinoceros Visual Effects has signed five digital CG design artists: Armin Matin, Natalie Saenko, Jeff Guerrero, Patrick Porter and Mark Stienberg. The new team came from the now defunct R/Greenberg Studios, where Rhinoceros executive producers Michael Miller and Rick Wagonheim previously worked. Miller said, "The addition of these artists with the current digital artists presently at Rhinoceros will give the New York community a highly charged creative studio with the best CG/Design artists in the East Coast as well as some very gifted Inferno artists." Matin recently directed CG effects for Dodge Intrepid in conjunction with director Richard Kizu-Blair at Complete Pandamoium for BBDO/Detroit. Seanko worked on much of the Dodge Intrepid campaign at R/GA as well as Pontiac, Orkin, Enfagrow, Disney, Colgate, Primeco, Sempra, Coca-Cola and CVS Pharmacy. Stienberg has created logo design and effects for MCI, Visteon, CNN, Intel, Hallmark, Fox Search Light Pictures and many others. Porter and Guerrero are CG character animators who have worked at Kool-Aid, Fox Kids Network, Orkin, Enfagrow, HBO and Coca-Cola.
