PFTrack Consistently Performs in a turbulent VFX market
2009 was also a fantastic year for PFTrack with growth across all geographical regions exceededing expectations. Feedback from both new and existing customers confirms that what really separates PFTrack from other match-moving applications is a robust toolset that constantly delivers, and additional and unique features such as geometry tracking, image based modelling and stereoscopic tracking which competing applications cannot match. Notable customer purchases this year included numerous global sites of Sony Imageworks, Double Negative, Cinesite, Intelligent Creatures, Electronic Arts and numerous boutique facilities.
Michael Lancaster, Managing Director at The Pixel Farm Ltd states that, “For the market in 2009 to have been predicted as poorly as it was, taking the lion’s share of available business is fantastic and testament to the quality of products and support that we provide. The employees of The Pixel Farm are to be commended for their focus and integrity in helping turn a very difficult year into an outright success".
Customers repeatedly credit The Pixel Farm for the their ability to supply well considered, market leading products; their ground breaking workflow design; and for their highly knowledgeable support team. In particular, they emphasised The Pixel Farm's ability to constantly innovate, whilst still being sympathetic to everyday user requirements.
