Argonaut CG Films

Argonaut was founded in 1994 on a dream and some credit cards.  Over the past eight years we've progressed from our first flying logo to 39 short films, 4 television commercials (1 regional super bowl spot), 32 FX shots, 26 national magazine covers, 33 posters, 465 other CG projects--and we've initiated production on our first feature film, Guardian Oath, starring Michael Dorn from Star Trek.

Our journey from flying logos with MAX to feature film work with Maya is a brutal one that's still not complete.  But starting from scratch, with no financial safety net, ingrained in us the need for quality, responsiveness, and value.  And Argonaut's unbelievable passion for excellent story telling constantly propels us to do better, more thrilling work than we did the day before.  So, if you're looking for passionate storytellers eager to surpass themselves, you will not find anyone better.

Having grown up in the shadows of the Sundance Film Festival, we approach our films from a guerilla-filmmaker point of view.  We may not get blockbuster budgets yet, but we make up for it with story, character, and creativity.  No, we're not going to surpass Shrek this year.   But we're going to tell some amazingly good stories. And a few years from now, who knows?

However, probably the most important thing to know about this company is that we're honest.  Not gullible, but honest—and although it's intangible, we think that's most important.  So if you haven't given us a shot yet, get to know us.  You'll be surprised by what you find.

We're currently scheduling projects for summer 2003, so if you've got a large project that you would like to be spectacular, please let us know.

Sincerely,

Ben Harrison
President

 

And for the nostalgic benefit of our old-timer employees, we recently unearthed our corporate and architectural reels from EIGHT YEARS AGO!!  And how could you forget this little gem we rescued off an abandoned VHS tape:  Singletrac's Rogue Trip!
