Born and raised in the Philippines, Marla Rausch wanted to introduce the vast creative talent of artists from her home country to the 3D animation and motion capture industry. She established a production center in Manila, Philippines, with an Animation Vertigo team that is comprised of well-trained, seasoned trackers and animators who surpass quality standards, deliver on-time results and produce compelling and realistic results.
Prior to establishing Animation Vertigo, Marla worked freelance in Spectrum Studios and Sony Computer Entertainment America as a motion capture tracker. It was here that Marla learned the ins and outs and gained knowledge and experience of the animation and motion capture industry. Marla also worked as a financial advisor with Ameriprise Financial and American Express Financial Advisors. She graduated from the University of the Philippines with a bachelor’s degree in mass communications.
Today, Marla is a member of the Motion Capture Society and the International Game Developers Association. She’s also a Board Member of the Animation Council of the Philippines, and a Core Member of the Creative Content Creators Association of the Philippines.
