SANTA MONICA, CA - Arsenal FX Color (www.arsenalfxcolor.tv), the full-service post house with facilities in Santa Monica, Mexico City, Atlanta and Albuquerque, recently announced that company co-founder O.T. Hight is assuming a new role as chief revenue officer. The announcement comes as Hight transitions from his two-decades-long-career as a visual effects artist.
As chief revenue officer, he will oversee sales and marketing for Arsenal FX Color across all of its facilities, and will focus on servicing existing clients, as well as developing new business and working with productions to take advantage of state and local tax incentives. Hight has more than 120 streaming, television and film credits, include Silicon Valley, Ballers and Rules of Engagement. He began his career with Video, Post & Transfer in Dallas, and later moved to the West Coast, where he joined Digital Magic. He was later a senior artist at West Wind Media and Level 3 Post. In 2010, he joined Larry Field in founding Arsenal FX Color.
“Production for television, streaming and film is becoming more dispersed, tax incentive programs are expanding, and technology is evolving,” Hight notes. “As a high-end boutique that is artist-owned, we have a lot to offer to productions seeking to work more efficiently without sacrificing creativity. We’re not a factory. We are dedicated to excellence, and we can adapt and make decisions quickly.”
Arsenal recently moved its Santa Monica headquarters to a new, 7,500-square-foot facility featuring two editorial finishing suites, three color grading suites, a 4K DI theater and dedicated space for visual effects production and dailies services.
