Established in 1987, AFCG Inc is the CG Studio responsible for all the 1994 Generation 2 commercials and the first Beast Wars commercial. They've also provided CG animation for companies like Procter & Gamble, Canon, Samsung and Broadway Video.
Their website currently retains multiple high resolution (for the time) screenshots of their work under their Project Archives. The Archivist for AFCG also provides context for the work, and links to the YouTube videos for the relevant commercials when the original work has been lost. While a few clips of their Transformers work still exist on their site, AFCG believes the full sum of the original Transformers work to be lost forever.
Notes
[edit]- They've made Dreadwing their mascot of sorts, as evidenced in this print ad. Amusingly, the company's acronym seems to stand for "Not Just Another Friggin' Computer Graphics Company."
- If you look closely in the commercial for Dreadwing, you can see the company's name on Electro and Sizzle's tires.
- The currently surviving clips found on their website are of Dreadwing crushing a car and the entire CGI segment from the first Beast Wars commercial. Dreadwing's short segment is also on their first demo reel, more proof that AFCG really likes Dreadwing.
- The Archivist of AFCG really likes the Transformers. Remarks can be found describing the work as "Challenging, but a whole lot of fun to work on," as well as missing the days of working on Transformers.
