The future of the Australian digital production company behind Happy Feet 2 – Dr D Studios – is uncertain after it retrenched almost 600 staff.
The joint venture between Kennedy Miller Mitchell (KMM) and Omnilab Media, which was first announced in November 2007, was intended to rival Peter Jackson’s Weta Digital in New Zealand as a home for high-end effects and digital feature film production.
However, a source said the majority of remaining employees have now been informed that they will be made redundant in early-December. Some employees were also offered positions at a new company that KMM plans to set up early next year.
Almost 700 crew were recently working on Happy Feet 2, which was released in the US on November 18. However, Dr D’s total staff numbers are now well under 100, according to sources.
