U2 3D Movie Poster

Awards season is always an interesting time here in LA — a great chance to review all the achievements of the past year, and to take a look at the folks who are moving the entertainment industry forward into new dimensions (yes, pun intended).  We’re delighted to say that our own first project, U2 3D, was honored with an award from the Visual Effects Society, which is the industry’s only organization that represents visual effects practitioners across multiple fields internationally.

U2 3D won Outstanding Visual Effects in a Special Venue Project, and kept company with other winners such as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Wall-E, and The Dark Knight.  Not bad for our independent project, huh?  It’s especially gratifying because the art of applying visual effects in live-action 3D has been especially hard to master, and we’re thrilled to be recognized for our work.  We’re also looking forward to sharing our developments with other filmmakers.

Special congratulations go out to U2 3D’s visual effects wizards:  Peter Anderson, Steve Schklair, David Franks, Jeremy Nicolaides.  You can read more about this year’s VES Awards here in Variety.
