Cinesite



Cinesite is a European effects studio and subsidiary of Eastman Kodak. The company was founded in 1991 as a testing ground for Kodak's Cineon computer system. After the system's discontinuation in 1997, the studio became a special effects studio wholly. From 1994 to 2003, there was a Hollywood division. It has since become known as Laser-Pacific.

The company also has done miniature work in addition to its CGI. Their website can be found here and complete credits from both divisions can be found here and here.
