Studio Gobo Opens New Studio in Zurich - News
by William D'Angelo , posted on 23 October 2014 / 3,729 ViewsStudio Gobo, the Brighton based studio, has opened up a new office in Zurich. The studio worked with Disney to help create some of the figures for Disney Infinity and the sequel Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes. They produced the Pirates of the Caribbean and Guardians of the Galaxy figures. They are currently working on an unannounced project.
"We have close working relationships with Disney Research Zurich as well as Universities in the area, so it makes sense for us to establish Studio Gobo Zurich in order to help us continue to attract high-calibre talent," said Gobo founder Tony Beckwith.
"We have always been impressed by the students at ETH Zurich (University) in particular, their excellence in computer graphics is a big draw for us. The new studio will retain the same innovative and creative culture as Gobo's Brighton base and will be an integral part of the team working on the current projects."
