New team headed by Tim Kilgour will work on graphics and titles for high-end TV and film.
Visual effects studio Vine FX has announced the launch of its new graphics department. Led by industry veteran Tim Kilgour, who joins Vine FX from Territory Studio, the new division will add another key service to the companies growing team.
“Graphics is a really important part of mainstream TV and film production,” Kilgour commented. “There are so many instances that are either highly visible — like the heads up displays in Avengers — or almost imperceptible — like airport departure screens in shows like Patrick Melrose and The Serpent. It’s great to bring this offering into the Vine FX portfolio.”
Vine FX has grown significantly in the last five years, moving studios three times to accommodate more artists in its central Cambridge location, in addition to remote staff across the U.K. and the rest of the world. The BAFTA-nominated team works across shows including War of the Worlds, The Witcher Season 3, and Boat Story.
“I’m thrilled that we’re able to launch a graphics department, particularly now,” says Vine FX founder Michael Illingworth. “We’re seeing more work coming in than ever before and the scope of what we’re delivering is just getting broader. A graphics team will lend itself well to increasing that breadth of service and help us take Vine FX forward into the next five years.”
