3DTi Alumni Work on Independent Greek Movie.  

Talk about an out of this world experience! Three 3DTi alumni were selected to work with the 3DMirage team on a special project for an upcoming Greek feature film. The film’s director Spyros Vrettos needed assistance with a seven-minute sequence and called on 3DMirage for support on the task.

The team recruited three past 3DTi students for the project: Joe Carvalko (Milford, CT), Rob Kerek (Rohnert Park, CA), and Andy Richard (Ajax, ON, Canada). The 3DTi alums were faced with the challenge of a tight budget and an even tighter deadline, but successfully completed the project with glowing results. The film is slated for a December release, and Vrettos is planning on including the finished product in several upcoming film festivals.

“I was impressed with the level of knowledge of [3DTi’s] students. In fact, I developed an interest to study 3D animation at the school in the near future in order to solve simple visual needs. I hope to support the idea of a more ambitious collaboration between 3DMirage and myself with new film projects.” - Spyros Vrettos (Film Director)
