Rhythm and Hues Studios

Rhythm & Hues Studios is an American visual effects and animation company that received the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects in 1995 for Babe, in 2008 for The Golden Compass, and in 2013 for Life of Pi. It has also received four Scientific and Technical Academy Awards.

History

1987–2012

Rhythm & Hues Studios was established in Los Angeles, California in 1987 by former employees of Robert Abel and Associates (John Hughes, Pauline Ts'o, Keith Goldfarb, Cliff Boule, Frank Wuts and Charles Gibson). The company uses its own proprietary software for its photo-realistic character animation/visual effects—as well as for those that are more stylized. In 1999, Rhythm & Hues Studios acquired visual effects house VIFX from 20th Century Fox.

2013

By the time Rhythm & Hues began to work on the 2012 Ang Lee film, Life of Pi, the company had become a global one with offices and artists in India (the Mumbai suburb of Malad and HITEC City which is a part of Hyderabad), Malaysia (Cyberjaya just outside Kuala Lumpur), Canada (Vancouver), and Taiwan (Kaohsiung). Artist Abdul Rahman in the Malaysian branch underscored the global nature of the effects process, saying that "the special thing about Life of Pi is that it was the first time we did something called remote rendering, where we engaged our cloud infrastructure in Taiwan called CAVE (Cloud Animation and Visual Effects)".

Rhythm Is

by: Paranoid Social Club

Chorus:
I don't even want to walk
If you can't walk with me
I don't even want to dance
If you can't dance with me
I don't even want to fuck
If you can't fuck with me
I don't even want to dance
If you can't dance with me
Yeah Yeah
He marched to the beat of a
different drum
Our rhythm is love
Our rhythm is yeah
rhythm is love
My mama told me
That love it can move you
And every heart has a pulse
And love is lots blood movin through you
Blood like roses are red
And the sky's painted blue
Blue like the songs
When your heart breaks in two
Makin love's not that different
But love makin you different too
Chorus
If you change
I will go your way
If your tempo's slow
We'll get to know
Our movements are the same
Love in love out
Love in love out
Our rhythm is love
Our rhythm is love
I just tap my thought to the rhythm
I can still have a good time
With all this temptation
Our blood in my system
Any ol' song will be fine
Well I just want to hear the rhythm
That you breath when you're fast asleep
I listen to the rhythm that you walk
When you walk down the street
May my heart be a temple
And I won't miss a beat
Sing to me
Chorus
I don't even want to walk
I don't even want to dance
I don't even want to fuck
If you can't fuck with me
I don't even want to walk
I don't even want to dance
I won't even want to fuck
If you can't fuck with me
Yeah Yeah
We march to the beat of a different drum
Our rhythm is love
Our rhythm is yeah
Rhythm is love
