Coming out of a much-anticipated awards season, this issue of VFX Voice shines a light on the 22nd Annual VES Awards gala. Congratulations again to all of our outstanding nominees, winners and honorees!
Immersive experiences at the Las Vegas Sphere take center stage in our cover story on this epic VFX venue. This issue delves into the state of TV/streaming and highlights sci-fi series 3 Body Problem, post-apocalyptic juggernaut Fallout and historical drama Shōgun. We explore trends in non-entertainment use of virtual tools, the VFX industry’s approach to environmental sustainability and the latest advances in mocap. VFX Voice also sits down with “Self” writer-director Searit Huluf and Milk Visual Effects Chief Business Development Officer Marianne Speight for up-close-and-personal profiles.
Continuing our expanded coverage of global VFX, we deliver a special focus on the booming VFX industry in Canada. We also spotlight our Oregon Section on its first anniversary. And, of course, share the joy with our VES Awards photo gallery capturing the festive celebration that awarded outstanding artistry and
inventiveness in 25 categories and honored venerated Producer and Visual Effects Producer Joyce Cox, VES with the VES Lifetime Achievement Award and acclaimed actor/director William Shatner with the VES Award for Creative Excellence.
Dive in and meet the innovators and risk-takers who push the boundaries of what’s possible and advance the field of visual effects.
Cheers!
