Jim Tierney founded Digital Anarchy in 2001 and has been a pioneer in the development of visual tools for motion graphics and compositing.
During the 1990’s, Jim worked for software companies like MetaTools, Atomic Power and Cycore. He helped create graphics products like Bryce, Evolution and Final Effects.
After working on After Effects plugins for over five years, Jim thought it was finally time to get out there and develop some of his own — so Digital Anarchy was born!
Since then he has been dedicated to finding ways of bringing innovative technology to video editors, broadcast designers, visual fx artists, and everyone that wants to make film/TV look better and do it more easily.

Fierce Peanut is a fierce chaser of sun spots and the occasional laser pointer. She instigates work breaks by jumping on your shoulder. And she adds to productivity by warming our seats while we are at lunch.
Our office kitten is a spitfire. Molotov Cupcake fearlessly hunts the printer whenever it makes a noise. She keeps things light around the office by ensuring the Anarchy Cuteness meter is kept at it’s maximum.
Callie is in charge of identifying equipment that no longer works. By chewing on the cables, she’s great at letting us know which ones need replacing! (seen here doing her job!)
Locke & Shock are the new interns assisting our VP of Cuteness, Molotov Cupcake. They are also ferocious bug hunters in the QA Dept when they aren’t clogging the computer fans with fur.
Our mascot is six feet tall and tons of fun. The Alien is a replica prop made out of resin. She’s not completely true to the original, but close enough to fool us when we’re around the office at night.
