The Paramount Group is very active in the anti-poaching efforts.
You have to admit - someone had a great time setting that thing up.

Yep, as said by Compton_effect, they are very active in combating poaching.

The company is showcasing this facility here at AAD at #Parabot’s mighty feet, as well as a mobile command and control centre that can co-ordinate the actions of land and air forces engaged in anti-poaching operations.

Paramount Pictures are also the distributors of the films. I actually thought the thread was about them

That looks a lot like the parts we cut for a company in CPT who assembled the whole thing.

The bits we did was high density foam and forrex. For the same company we also did the swords used in dominum which is filmed in CPT.

I had to stop watching Dominion after they used the Rhodes Memorial in one scene. I can only suspend disbelief so much.
