Really enjoying covering the more seamless effects work that help tell great stories in great films (as well as the big stuff, too, of course).

The tech behind Zootopia
Disney’s Zootopia is fantastic – and behind the scenes the artists responsible for hair, fur and vegetation have done a masterful job. Find out more about in this fxguide piece.
New X-Files, same aesthetic
I’m a big fan of the new X-Files series, in particular how the show seems to still have that 90s sensibility even in the present day. This goes for the VFX too, which I wrote about on fxguide.
The effects of Kung Fu Panda 3
The beautiful animation in Kung Fu Panda 3 is only more enhanced by the effects artistry behind character special powers, atmospherics and destruction scenes. Read more in this fxinsider story.
Revisit the VFX of Oscar-winner Ex Machina
It won the Oscar for visual effects, perhaps unexpectedly, but the work by Dneg, Milk VFX and all the artists on the show was beautifully executed. Revisit fxguide’s coverage here.
How cool is Star Wars LEGO?
It’s very cool, especially in this trailer for the Force Awakens video game, made by Plastic Wax, which I covered at fxguide.
