Background
Founded in 2014, Red Raion is the CGI studio specialized in media based attractions.

Main products and services
Do you manage an amusement park, FEC, or shopping mall with media-based attractions that rely on licensed CGI movies?

Imagine the possibilities that having a growing library of CGI titles could unleash...

Actually, there’s no need to just imagine them: find them out with Moviepack!

Moviepack is the ONLY membership program that allows you to refresh your offer with up to 3 new CGI titles every year, allowing you to keep the ones from the previous years.

And it renews automatically, so you don’t even have to worry about yearly additional costs!

Are you managing a theme park or museum?
You need the perfect CGI content for your media-based attraction, but you’re still not sure about what you want it to look like... So you haven’t got a script or a storyboard?

Magicboard is the tool we designed to help you visualize what your new CGI content will be like, without committing to the entire production beforehand.

It consists of a detailed script, dialogs, and storyboard that will give you an exact preview of the final content experience you want to give your guests.

Magicboard will keep you safe from the typical “bad surprises” you may face in this business, such as delays, a different quality from the one you were promised, and unexpected costs, and it will show you how we work and how we will handle your project.

We have proven our skills creating content for technological equipment like XD and VR cinemas, immersive tunnels, VR roller-coaster experiences, flying theaters, museum experiences, indoor coasters, custom simulators, 180-degree and Dome theaters.

Where in the world?
We have more than 80 clients and our content is present in over 90 venues around the five continents. Red Raion’s headquarters are located in Catania, Italy, where the production activities take place.

Plans for the next 12 months

Meanwhile, our movie catalog for licensing is constantly growing with new VR, 5D, Dome, and Fly content that we design from scratch in each format!

Our newest title is the traveling adventure for families Around the World in 80 Days - Journey of Wonders, available soon in 5D, VR, Dome, and Fly formats!

Testimonial
“After an extensive search around the world for a good and creative animation film studio, we are pleased to have landed at Red Raion for the creation of an affordable 3D animation film solution, from concept to production, featuring our “Marmots'' IP to show in our snow parks. We’ve very much enjoyed working with Red Raion and using the Magicboard. After reading the script, we got the chance to see the colored storyboard with clear scenes and included dialogues. So, it has been really useful to us, both as a creative concept and as a tool that gave a clear achievable direction before starting the actual production of our movie and allowed us to make important decisions. It was very helpful and fun. We are very much looking forward to our first film!”
– Kees Albers – founder, chairman and former CEO of Unlimited Leisure Holding
“For a large and complex project of ours we’ve been collaborating with Red Raion concerning the custom made video content for this production. We’ve experienced Red Raion to be a pleasant and reliable partner in our team. Listening well to feedback, displaying a great amount of flexibility, respecting deadlines and a good and open communication about any issues that arise makes us feel very comfortable working with them.”
– Marjolein van de Stolpe, CEO at Leisure Expert Group
"At Jora Vision, we prefer to collaborate with companies that do not only offer great products but also have the same vision for creating exciting and wonderful experiences. This is what we found in Red Raion, a state of mind focused on giving the highest possible experience value to the visitor as it is clear from the CGI content they deliver."
– Jan Maarten de Raad, CEO of Jora Vision

Red Raion announces collaboration with Emmy nominated screenwriter Lorien McKenna
Red Raion, the CGI studio specialized in media-based attractions, is thrilled to announce its collaboration with Emmy-nominated screenwriter Lorien McKenna.

Lorien is widely recognized for her exceptional work, having worked on several beloved Pixar Animation Studios films such as the Oscar-winning Ratatouille, Up, Brave, and Inside Out.

The writer, who is currently actively involved in the The Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike, completed the script for Red Raion's upcoming CGI movie before the onset of the protest.

The script by Lorien McKenna is set to be the centerpiece of Red Raion's next CGI movie, which is currently under development and designed for licensing purposes. The IP associated with the film is yet to be unveiled, as the announcement will take place during the upcoming SEA (Saudi Entertainment and Amusement) trade show.

Valeria Rizzo, the Business Development Director of Red Raion, expressed her enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "We are honored to be working with Lorien McKenna, a true master of storytelling. Her involvement in our upcoming CGI movie further reinforces Red Raion's commitment to delivering immersive and captivating experiences to our clients and their audiences. We cannot wait to unveil this exceptional project."

At the time of the collaboration, Lorien McKenna herself shared her excitement about the project, expressing her enthusiasm to Red Raion for the creative freedom to give a completely new take on such an iconic intellectual property - this time, featuring a female protagonist, a new set of characters, and a cool, unique world that stands apart from other reinterpretations of the same IP.

Red Raion continues to be at the forefront of the attractions industry, pushing boundaries and setting new standards with its cutting-edge CGI content for digital attractions.

The collaboration with Lorien McKenna represents a significant milestone for Red Raion and solidifies its commitment to delivering unparalleled entertainment experiences.
