I talked to Aardman for this story at VFX Voice about their newest stop motion effort, Early Man. Some really nice behind the scenes pics here.

Spring VFX Voice is out!
The latest issue of VFX Voice is now out, with Wrinkle in Time on the cover, and has a bunch of content I was able to contribute. I’ll post some links to some of those stories in the coming days.
Visualizing The Last Jedi
Previs, postvis and techvis: it’s now pretty much part of all big VFX films. Here’s how The Third Floor contributed its skills to The Last Jedi, at VFX Voice.
Hostiles, an invisible fx film
I do love writing these invisible visual effects stories, and here’s a new one on Hostiles for VFX Voice.
The latest from VFX Voice
At VFX Voice, two new online articles I wrote have now been published. The first is a breakdown of one scene from Downsizing, which utilised some neat miniaturisation effects. And the second is about the awesome stampede in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
Old-school Star Wars and the path of innovation
For VFX Voice magazine, I looked back at some of the big ticket innovations ILM introduced with each Star Wars film. Loved the history here.
VFX Voice on The Last Jedi
What a thrill to chat to ILM vfx supe Ben Morris about The Last Jedi (we did this a few months before the film was out – it was tough!). VFX Voice magazine has the story.
Re-visiting Jumanji
Anyone who saw Jumanji in the 90s knew that CG and VFX was already changing films forever. I got to chat to former ILM animation supervisor and now director Kyle Balda about his work on it, for VFX Voice magazine.
The Shape of Water, amazing
One of my favourite articles to write this year: a look at The Shape of Water effects with Legacy and Mr. X, for VFX Voice magazine.
Checking in with Neill Blomkamp’s Oats Studios
The January 2018 issue of VFX Voice has a piece I wrote on Oats Studios, Neill Blomkamp’s experimental outfit.
