Visual effects
boutique taps John Ciampa to lead East Coast operation, which has produced work
for CBS FILMS, MTV, SPIKE, VH1 and others.

SANTA MONICA, CA— Culver City, California-based
visual effects boutique Mr. Wolf has opened a studio in New York City. The new
operation, located within the post-production facility Post FactoryNY, will
provide visual effects and finishing services for features, television,
broadcast media, advertising and other projects. Mr. Wolf is known for its work
on features American Hustle, Hercules, The Brother’s Grimsby and Allegiant. Its New York operation has
already completed work for MTV’s Teen
Wolf, SPIKE’s Adam Carolla and
Friends Build Stuff, and VH-1’s America’s
Next Top Model and Leave It to Stevie.

John Ciampa, a
25-year industry veteran, will head the New York operation as Creative
Director. Like the company’s Culver City operation, the new site features a
flexible IT infrastructure that enables it to quickly scale up or adapt its
workflow to meet the needs of assignments of varying size and needs. In
addition to tackling New York-based projects, it will provide supplementary support
to the team in California.

“We’re extending the model that has worked so well on the
West Coast,” said Mr. Wolf Executive Producer Mike Pryor. “It’s creative
solutions through unparalleled client service.” Pryor added that the two
offices share a data link that allows them to collaborate. Both sides have
already teamed up on projects for the television series Channel Zero (SyFy), The
Goldbergs (ABC),Kevin Can Wait (CBS),
and The OA (Netflix) as well as the
Peter Berg- directed Patriot’s Day.  They are currently in production on Nicole
Holofcener’s Land of Steady Habits
which recently finished shooting.

Ciampa worked as a New York-based independent for the past
nine years, most recently focusing on broadcast media for VH-1, MTV and other
Viacom channels. Previously, he spent 11 years in Los Angeles, where he held
staff posts with View Studios, Pittard Sullivan, and Ring of Fire. A talented
compositor, visual effects artist and creative director, he has worked across
features, television, broadcast and commercials.

Ciampa said he views his arrival at Mr. Wolf as a reunion as
he previously worked with Pryor, Yoon and Nguyen at Ring of Fire. “It’s been 25
years of amazing opportunities, including commercials, movies, graphics and TV,”
he noted. “Mostly I’m grateful for the people and collaborations. And now I
feel inspired and energized to be working with Danny, Duy and Mike again.  Feels good.”  

Mr. Wolf is located at 9503 Jefferson Blvd. Studio B., Culver
City, CA 90232. For more information on Mr. Wolf, contact Mike Pryor, executive
