Texture Magazine Article about Two Door FX


TWO DOOR FX
Diego Torroija of Two Door FX, a corporation that specializes in animation
and visual effects, is also no stranger to high-profile projects. After working
as a freelance game animator for companies such as Activision and producing
games including Tony Hawk, KellySlater: Pro Surfer, and Spiderman,
Torroija started Two Door FX in Lake Mary. Here, he began working on
projects including music videos for Smash Mouth and helping to design
the functionality of the projection system of the Wizarding World of
Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios.“I moved from Los Angeles to Central
Florida because I felt it was a more suitable environment to raise a family,”
he says. “The schools in the area, such as Full Sail, provide me with trained
individuals that I can hire to keep the business growing. This helps keep
a constant flow of energetic and motivated artists looking to create
something and build up their skills.” Staying current on the latest
technological trends is no longer a location-based issue, either. “Since it
is constantly changing, there is always a need to stay on top of technology,”
says Torroija. “Trade shows and training classes online have been a helpful
resource. I also read about new hardware and technology through usergroups
and from colleagues. While on projects, we have the ability to
talk about the latest advancements in the field.”
The company is currently developing the next advertising campaign for
Rooms To Go, which is a sports related, 3-D computer-animated series of spots.
“We are using full-body motion capture technology captured from optical
infrared cameras,” explains Torroija. “This gives us the ability to capture live
performances to create 3-D animation data. Two Door is currently one of the
only companies that can provide this service in the southeast.
“Another aspect that is exciting for Two Door specifically is that we
can bring many Los Angeles clients to the Central Florida market, and
maintain the highest level of quality at affordable southeast rates.”
