Following on from last year's announcement that
Alt VFX was moving into a new space, founder and VFX supervisor, Colin
Renshaw is pleased to confirm that the new studio in Darlinghurst is
fully operational and has already delivered a number of exciting new
projects.
Says Renshaw: "The renovations are just about finished
and are very Alt. It's definitely a place you want to hang out in and
soak up the atmosphere. We added more client suites and amped up the
luxury."
With immaculate timing, Alt VFX's new general manager, Dave Kelly has
now joined the company to oversee the Sydney operation and work with the
experienced teams both in Sydney and Brisbane to continue to grow the
business.
Says Takeshi Takada, executive producer and co-founder, Alt: "We are so pleased to have Dave as part of the
management team. He
has a great VFX pedigree and is culturally a great
fit."
Says Kelly: "I've been lucky to work with some of Australia's leading visual
effects companies, supervisors and artists since starting in this
industry in 1993. Garner MacLennan Design and Fuel VFX in particular,
were significant contributors in terms of putting Australia on the map
for commercial
visual effects and animation, and the team at Alt have
well and truly picked up that baton and run with it.
"There
is clearly an outstanding visual effects team here at Alt, headed up by
Col and Jesse Bradstreet, but it's the production team Takeshi and Col
have put together which is also really exciting. Executive producer,
Kate Stenhouse and senior producer, Dawn Walker are two of this
country's finest and they have done a wonderful job in setting the
foundation for the Sydney studio. I'm really looking forward to
supporting all of them to achieve the goals they have set for Alt, and
to help take them to the next level."
