Jonathan Dorfman & Szymon Weglarski | CG Animators

Jonathan Dorfman and Szymon Weglarski, both Pratt Institute B.F.A. graduates in Computer Graphics and Interactive Media, launched their digital animation/VFX company, HiFi 3D, in 2010 to provide high-end animation production services for a variety of media, from commercials to feature films. The partners won a 2012 Emmy for “Outstanding Special Visual Effects” for their work on the HBO show Boardwalk Empire. The Emmy-winning sequence appeared in the episode “Georgia Peaches,” (Season 2, Episode 10). It involved a waterfront scene where contraband is being unloaded from a cargo ship. The challenge was that there was no ship. Dorfman and Weglarski were responsible for creating a period- accurate, photorealistic freighter that was completely computer generated. More
