It's just quite said to see such a great company ... well not being what it used to be. Andreas, I thought precision was your strength “A couple” was really four and you were

POP as it was called in its last years got sold to 4MC in 1998. 4MC became eventually Ascent. A couple of people left 525 Post in August 1998 and started doing visual effects on the 4th floor of the 730 building. After months and months and an endless stream of meetings this visual effects department finally got a name: "method studios". In July 1999 it moved into the former POP Animation (before that Buzz Effects) building on 1546 7th Street. 730 was entirely remodeled and became R!ot Pictures. 730 Arizona has had an interesting history: It was the home of Pacific Ocean Post.

The Managing Director was canned as well. Yep, lots of layoffs, some of which made absolutely no sense. The Managing Director was canned as well.

Or making half decent commercials - whichever comes first. Maybe now that Method/Riot has laid off 30+ people they can get back to the business of making money.
