Making Magic with 3D Animation in Los Angeles

 

Los Angeles is best known for being home to Hollywood, where some of the greatest entertainment hits in the world were born. Besides the glitz and glamor of movie stars and celebrities, the city’s draw for talent has also attracted many major game developers to settle here, including EA and Tencent. The second-largest city in the United States, Los Angeles is also known for its cultural diversity and unique ethnic enclaves that make up the social fabric of the city.
