Pixel Magic will open a Louisiana studio at the LITE facility in Lafayette, creating 12 jobs within a year and ramping up to a total of 40 jobs in three years, company, state and Lafayette-area officials announced this morning.
Pixel Magic provides digital visual effects for movies and television. Its capabilities include visual effects services in 2-D and 3-D.
Pixel Magic has done work for Miramax, Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks on major films, such as “Marley & Me,” “Get Smart,” “300,” “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and “The Last Samurai.”
Louisiana Economic Development’s Office of Entertainment Development, working with regional and local partners, encouraged Pixel Magic to expand in Louisiana in conjunction with its work on Disney’s film Secretariat, currently filming in Acadiana.
“Pixel Magic is a great example of the kind of companies we hoped to position Louisiana to secure when we strengthened Louisiana’s film production and digital interactive media tax credits during the last legislative session,” Gov. Bobby Jindal said in an announcement with company and Lafayette-area officials.
“Pixel Magic’s decision to locate in Louisiana will send a signal to Hollywood and to other leading digital media companies that Louisiana is a major player in the digital media industry,” the governor said. “This win will help accelerate the development of Lafayette as a hub for digital media and film production, and, of course, it will help create more good jobs for our children so that they can pursue their dreams right here in Louisiana.”
