We’re not a giant shop. You won’t find 116 people pushing your project through an assembly line. We aren’t too busy for your call. We aren’t a production house. And we’re not just an extra set of hands.
We aren’t your lowest bid. We’re certainly not your highest bid either. We don’t think in mainstream because we’d rather navigate our own. We don’t act like artists (even though we are artists).
Oh, and we don’t like what we do.
We love it.
16 BIT is a nimble collection of multi-dimensional thinkers. We solve problems (sometimes ones you didn’t even know you had). We dream in pictures. We speak in images. And we take projects in directions beyond what was ever thought possible.
If there’s a limit, we’ll find a way to push it. If there’s a barrier, we’ll figure out how to break through—we’re the answer to every “What if” you ever had. Be warned: some of us are huggers.
16 Bit Pileup is a fully integrated studio offering retouching, compositing, CGI, VFX, virtual reality, and augmented reality services in support of Publicis Groupe’s initiative to streamline and optimize these services in the North American market. Our goal is to collaborate/partner with Publicis Groupe to achieve the following:
16 Bit Pileup brings 22 years of experience creating award winning content for hundreds of extremely satisfied clients. During that time we have partnered with Publicis Groupe’s Leo Burnett/Arc Chicago office to produce outstanding results on time and on budget for multiple brand teams. Our industry experience along with Publicis Groupe specific experience make 16 Bit Pileup the perfect retouching/post production partner in your continued success.
We are based in a 4,000 square foot studio located in Chicago’s River West neighborhood. Currant staffing can accommodate roughly 1,200 images/year. The images range in size from simple retouching and color correcting to complex composites of photography and CGI content. We have the ability and the infrastructure to ramp up to a capacity of 3,000 images per year if necessary to service this contract.
