Welcome to the Fall 2021 issue of VFX Voice!

 Thank you for your continued and enthusiastic support of VFX Voice as a part of our global community. We’re proud to keep shining a light on outstanding visual effects artistry and innovation worldwide and lift up the creative talent who never cease to inspire us all. 

In this issue, our cover story goes inside epic science fiction film Dune. We delve into the making of Free Guy and Reminiscence for the big screen. We sit down with film history author Lenny Lipton, Production Designer Doug Chiang and SFX Supervisor Hayley Williams. We’ve assembled an insightful array of features on Virtual Production, looking at LED walls and stages with Zoic Studios, real-time solutions with Aaron Sims Creative, video game innovators, and an industry roundtable on the future of this game-changing technology. We go inside the intersection of animation and live action, look at trends in immersive theater and take a look at superhero adventure Doom Patrol, and more. 

VFX Voice is proud to be the definitive authority on all things VFX. And we continue to bring you exclusive stories between issues that are only available online at VFXVoice.com. You can also get VFX Voice and VES updates by following us on Twitter at @VFXSociety.
