About

I’m Frank Vitale, founder of 33North, a Phoenix-based full-service digital arts studio. Since officially launching 33North in 2005, I have focused on agency-level solutions, delivering photo-realistic 3D renderings, animations, motion graphics, game assets, AR/VR, and mobile design to help brands stay ahead of design trends and technology.

Beyond client work, I’ve contributed to education and software development—teaching at the Art Institute of Phoenix and Phoenix College, beta testing production tools, writing manuals, and sharing industry insights through articles and lectures. I’m passionate about pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling while mentoring teams to achieve striking, practical results.

The Mark III is a new and innovative way for builders to attach joist and framing components to concrete piles that support buildings built on soft ground, like beach homes. They needed a visualization piece to use at trade shows and for their site to showcase this development. I created this one soup to nuts, from script writing, to final render, 33North did everything. Storyboards were critical as it's a fairly complex piece. I hope you enjoy it. https://www.twine.net/signin
