WELCOME to the Best Special Visual Effects that can be made!!!
 MESOZOIC INCORPORATED is headed up by: Thomas Randall Dickens, who has over 16 years experience working in the field of Special Visual Effects and Animation.  The Company was established in 1989 (originally as: Integrity Productions ).  In the beginning the company started with quality "Traditional, Real-World" Effects, such as Stop Motion Animation, Rod / Mechanical / Motion Control Operated Puppets, Walk Around Suits, Miniatures, Matte Paintings, etc.  In 1995 it began working with State of the Art, 3D, Computer Generated Imagery. This blend of Traditional and High Tech modernized knowledge gives MESOZOIC INCORPORATED   the edge on other companies.   

MESOZOIC INCORPORATED  specializes in pleasing the Client: Artistically, Technically, and Budgetarily, on a wide Monitary Range.  This includes the A-List Film Productions, all the way down to Independent Features, as well as Television Commercials and Theme Parks.  MESOZOIC INCORPORATED 's strongest asset is its abilities to make an ordinary Project: Extraordinary.  Fantastic Conceptualizing to add the "one of a kind" Flair.  MESOZOIC INCORPORATED is capable of working in any genre: from Science Fiction, to Children's Animation, to Ordinary Films which may need (less noticeable) effects to help tell the story. 

Due to MESOZOIC INCORPORATED's low overhead, the Client can save tremendously, yet due to its skill, can get Top High End Quality, on any Effect, Character Animation, Concept Design, or Traditional Effects, for any scale project.  No job is too large or too small.  The Company does not like to turn down any Client, or work, which could lead to a long lasting partnership. 

MESOZOIC INCORPORATED can also Produce, Direct, and Supervise the Special Visual Effects, and even an entire Production (from Pre- to Post-)!

MESOZOIC INCORPORATED is the ONLY Company which can Vastly Increase the appearance of: Quality and Budget, to Any Project, for a Fraction of the Charges, (and much more pleasant working relationship)!!! 

Try:  MESOZOIC INCORPORATED !!!  Clients come back, again and again, for Quality, Experience, Value, Integrity, and Professionalism.  Why spend more, and deal with the headaches and dissatisfaction, or feel that Your Project can not afford "State of the Art" Special Visual Effects (which can put the Project in the League with the "Big Boys")?  You have nothing to loose, and everything to gain, by giving MESOZOIC INCORPORATEDa chance, and a call / email.  We will work up a bid in a timely manor.
