About Blockade Entertainment

Blockade Entertainment is the first animation studio of its kind to create and distribute compelling 3D animated content through the utilization of video game engines and assets.

The company has created a sophisticated production pipeline and technology platform that can produce high quality 3D animation for a fraction of the time and cost. The process allows television networks and online media portals to distribute original animated content at a level of quality normally associated with large theatrical releases. Blockade has quickly formed partnerships with several major video game publishers and content owners to produce television series based on their intellectual properties. These series will then be distributed to network,cable, broadband, DVD and mobile outlets domestically and internationally. The company is also co-developing several original projects directly with the networks.

Interactive Animation

Adding value to Blockade's programming is the company's ability to produce in-show, dynamic advertising. Blockade's pipeline allows marketers to display their brand messages, in a variety of graphic formats, directly inside the actual show. The technology makes these advertising opportunities dynamic and real-time so that advertisers, who want to promote their products for a specific period of time, or change their messaging during the campaign, can now do so for the first time in an animated show.

Localized Content

Blockade's first-of-its-kind production process allows for the insertion and/or alteration of multiple digital assets within an animated set in real-time. The result is an opportunity to create special, localized content that reflects a specific targeted audience; providing significant value to international partners.

Based in Los Angeles, California, Blockade Entertainment is a partnership between entertainment executive Brad Foxhoven, top video game developer Gearbox Software, and Academy Award winning animation and effects house Rhythm and Hues.
