Ana Reyes"Our artists also like the Pablo very much. There are not many Pabloartists in Mexico currently but the release of the Neo panel for Pablo has madeit much easier for artists to transfer their skills from other systems. We arealso training one of our artists to be a Stereo3D specialist; in fact we haveinvested a lot in training and will continue to do so," Reyes continued."We intend to continue to be the premier S3D house in Mexico as thisexciting new medium continues to grow, and we are also looking to expand ourbusiness into the USA and Latin America, where we can deliver real budgetsavings as well as great creativity."

"Quantelgives us good service and support, and also handles the complex customspaperwork for us directly, which is also a great help. Most of our staff don'tspeak English, so it's great to be supported by the Spanish speaking Quantelstaff that look after us," Reyes concluded.
