Disney dominated the 18th annual Ves Awards with five nominations apiece for Jon Favreau’s frontrunner “The Lion King” and Robert Rodriguez’s surprising “Alita: Battle Angel” (acquired from Fox).

While “Avengers: Infinity War” topped the 17th annual Ves Awards (to be held February 5th at the Beverly Hilton Hotel) with six nominations, “Black Panther,” Marvel’s other Oscar frontrunner, was shut out. And Damien Chazelle’s acclaimed “First Man,” another frontrunner, was included in the supporting category as a result of its invisible VFX. Disney’s “Mary Poppins Returns,” meanwhile, was also snubbed.
However, joining “Infinity War” in the top VFX category were a surprising list: “Ready Player One” (with five nominations), “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” “Christopher Robin” and “Welcome to Marwen.” Joining “First Man” for supporting VFX were “12 Strong,” Bird Box,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and “Outlaw King”.
In animation, Pixar’s “Incredibles 2” was the big winner with five nominations, followed by Sony’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and Disney’s “Ralph Breaks the Internet” with four. They were joined by Illumination’s “The Grinch” and Wes Anderson’s “Isle of Dogs.

If Shade VFX does their job right, you often can't tell they've done any work at all. Their supporting effects have been an integral part of "True Detective," "Olive Kittredge" and "Daredevil," for which they were nominated for an Emmy award for their supporting effects. Their other credits include the upcoming "Batman vs Superman," "Jessica Jones" and "Selma," to name a few. Read More: Get Ready for 'Marvel's Jessica Jones,' Which Might Be Netflix's Darkest Series Yet Indiewire recently spoke to Shade VFX's CEO Bryan Godwin about how supporting effects are becoming just as important to the storytelling process as big action effects. What is the difference -- if there is one -- between creating visual effects for films vs. TV? The difference is getting less and less every year. Our entry into television is kind of motivated by the fact that the opportunity to do good work...

In a move that bucks the gloomy trend prevalent in the Us-based effects industry, CEO Bryan Godwin has announced (25) that Shade will open a facility in New York.
Godwin, the founder, owner and visual effects supervisor at the Santa Monica-based company, cited the favourable economic climate and a greater client base in New York as reasons for the expansion.
The new studio is located in Manhattan and Godwin plans to build up a “medium-sized staff” over the coming months. The facility is currently in production on a DJ Caruso project, with whom Shade previously collaborated on I Am Number Four.
Shade executive producer David Van Dyke, who has been with the company since its inception five years ago, has been promoted to vice-president. Van Dyke will continue to report directly to Godwin (pictured).
“We’ve been researching expanding to an incentivised area and New York was a no-brainer for us,” said Godwin...
