Visual Effects/ Postproduction
any a producer, director, or artist dreams of one day cre-
ating his or her own feature fi lm, yet few—if any—ever
attempt such an ambitious feat, let alone accomplish it.
But this month, a group of determined digital artists
from Atlanta-based Fathom Studios will see the result
of their long, diffi cult journey play out on the big screen when
the independently created 3D animated feature fi lm Delgo opens
in theaters nationwide.
Delgo is a story about love and betrayal in a magical world that is
torn apart by the mutual prejudices of two races who inhabit it: the
winged Nohrin, masters of the skies, and the terrestrial Lockni, who
harness the mystical powers of the land. Here, a young boy fi nds
forbidden love with someone outside his own kind, and together
they expose evildoers and unite a kingdom.

line, unique-looking
characters, sweeping
environments, and
dark shadows.
