Every week comes to an end. It’s inevitable to avoid it so better make the best out of it. Every schedule should be special!

Either you decide to cool off after a full week or getting warm for a full weekend, we’re pretty sure it’s gonna be time well spent and nothing to rant about.
We’re thinking big! But that’s a chapter to discuss another time or… maybe you’ll help us write it?!

If this tempts you even just for a bit, feel free to take a moment and check out our job openings.

Have an awesome weekend!

And the best way to give out compliments is to give them in person, right?
If you happen to be a mid-to-senior Compositing Artist from Munich area, we would have a lot of compliments for you as well.
We are actually talking about the possibility to complete our Munich team for October and maybe even November.

Start your day by this interview of Florian Gellinger by Ian Failes about his first time at Trojan Horse was a Unicorn: https://vfxblog.com/2017/09/25/that-gives-you-goosebumps-the-vfx-perspective-on-thu-with-rise-fxs-florian-gellinger

“That gives you goosebumps” – the VFX perspective on THU with Rise FX’s Florian Gellinger

It can be hard sometimes to nail down exactly what Trojan Horse was a Unicorn is. Of course, that’s its appeal – it’s an ‘experience,’ as co-founder André Lourenço describes it, for all kinds…

Ländle is just a different way of saying Stuttgart, just in case you stumbled for a minute on that...
Back on your feet, you can turn your attention to the main question: Are you able to handle our CG at RISE in Stuttgart?
There comes a huge responsibility with that: taking care and being there for our awesome CG-team (actually our whole Stuttgart team is as nice as it gets).
Since we care about our team, you need to tick some boxes :-)
Which are:
*about 5 years of experience in feature films
*strong skills in Maya, Mari, Zbrush, Houdini
*experience in leading a team.

If you feel this description is handcrafted to your skill set, then drop us a line and it'll be fine.

Be wise, choose RISE!
Have a nice week.

It's Friday and thanks to strategical social media planning, implementation and rigorous data analysis, we reached 3000 likes today.
Or it's just a coincidence, who could tell...
YEAH!! THANKS for each and one of them!
Is there a chance to build an even stronger bond than virtual Facebook likes?
Sure thing, joining RISE for real is as real as it gets.
Sit down, relax, have a drink and take a look at our current openings.
Have a nice weekend,

RISE 10TH ANNIVERSARY

15.09.2017 – 08:00
100 Years of RISE
The future began nevertheless for Roland and RISE: Any given idea or vision of a director was perfectly and realistically transferable into rich imagery through the brilliant staff at RISE, almost 200 rock-star-designer-programmers looking at transparent screens, pointing at graphics and rubbing their chins until late at night. #FakeHistory #RISE10

and see you at the party!

Soon Roland Rise had to find out that, other than envisioned years earlier, machines were far for taking over the world. To his surprise computers were actually pretty stupid - giving him more and different options of manipulating imagery - but it was still insanely labor intense work that involved hundreds of highly skilled computer technicians and designers. #FakeHistory #RISE10

One of the first decisions of Roland Rise as new RISE CEO was to build a new headquarter. He was convinced that machines would at some point take over the world, rendering everyone unemployed. His vision was a new company building that revolves around a Ping Pong table in it's center, using the latest in technology. #FakeHistory #RISE10

It’s time to bond again for one of our openings and we’d like to see some lighters up!

This mind-blowing performance is all about Houdini magic… on an open stage. That means the show could be very well yours!

For the best performance we’re gonna put our lighters up as well… and a lighting/shading role in our team!

If you’d like to be considered for an audition, you know what to do, right?

Another week, another Friday… and we’re wondering where did the time go so fast again?
Times flies when you’re having fun and it sure felt quick. It was a buzzing week on two continents. We’ve been busy with both effectsMTL and ANIMAGO at almost the same time.
Now that another working week has passed, we’re gonna sit back, relax and let the weekend happen 'til next week.
Nevertheless, we cannot leave a Friday get away without some drinkable advice, so just remember: When the shot at work is done, switch it with a liquid one.
Cheers and have fun!

100 Years of RISE
After the market stabilized Wolfgang Rise felt that he couldn't keep up with technological developments anymore. He was convinced it was time to hand over the company to his son Roland, a tech savvy genius in his late twenties. Fresh out of Hollywood Business School, Roland knew that the stakes were high for the years to come. #FakeHistory #RISE10

After the crash of the stock market, major parts of the population just couldn't afford movie tickets anymore. The demand for Wolfgang Rise's services dropped by almost 90 percent as most of it was manual labor and nobody was willing to produce high budgeted movies. Suffering extreme losses RISE had to let go half of it's workforce in 1964. #FakeHistory #RISE10

We like to reflect on Mondays. This time we are thinking about how late is too late before you are late?
We might not hold the universal truth on this, but one thing we know for sure: it’s better late than never if it’s your fate to coordinate. We repeat ourselves on that, we know. It’s only because we are strong believers.
If you also agree on that, do the right decision and send us your application: http://risefx.com/index.php?menu=jobs
