Alan Bell is the founder of Handmade Digital. His credits include many Hollywood feature films. Recently he edited and composited visual effects shots for films such as "The Comebacks"- Fox Atomic, "Hoot"- Walden Media, "Little Manhattan"- New Regency Entertainment,"Miracle" - Walt Disney Studios, "Alex and Emma" - Warner Bro's, and others.

Alan founded Handmade Digital upon the principle that it's better to have a few really good artists working on desktop software than one person sitting in front of an expensive hardware based system. Todays desktop software tools are perfectly suited to do visual effects work and these systems can be set up anywhere.

"We believe that visual effects must integrate seamlessly into the movie. It doesn't matter whether you are making a movie of the week or a feature film, every shot is just as important as the last. To support this we stand ready to put together a dedicated team of artists to meet the demands of your show. After all, it's the people who make the difference."
