That Came with the Frame

[yaboisoph]

DNEG (whose recent productions include Oppenheimer, Nimona, and Dune) are up to some absolutely wild bullshit. A 25% paycut is already a ridiculous sum, and their suggested loan system is baffling. Keeping an eye out for more information on this. (link to post from the Animation & Visual Effects Union UK on linkedin)

'The visual effects house behind Oppenheimer, DNEG, recently addressed reports it plans to make substantial cuts to employees' pay.

DNEG responded to the reported pay cuts, which are allegedly as high as 25%, in a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter. "We are continuously and proactively reviewing all areas of our business to ensure that we can continue to deliver the highest quality work while protecting as many of our employees’ positions as possible," the statement read, in part. "In order to do that, we've asked employees and team members earning above certain salary thresholds, including the most senior executives and creative leaders, to assume short-term pay cuts that will enable us to maintain the maximum number of jobs through this period."

While the pay cuts and other cost-cutting measures planned by DNEG aren't directly related to Oppenheimer itself, this isn't the first time Christopher Nolan's biopic has been linked to VFX-related controversy. Notably, VFX supervisor Andrew Jackson recently debunked persistent claims that Oppenheimer only used practical effects to achieve its striking visuals, noting that the movie includes approximately 200 visual effects shots. Jackson added that Oppenheimer's VFX-free reputation was likely the result of news outlets misinterpreting Nolan's comments about the blockbuster's lack of entirely computer-generated imagery.

Oppenheimer Takes Bohemian Rhapsody's Crown

While Jackson's comments arguably puncture some of the mystique surrounding Oppenheimer, this hasn't had a noticeable effect on the film's box office performance. Oppenheimer is currently the third-highest-grossing release of 2023, racking up over $900 million in ticket sales. The movie is also the highest-grossing biopic of all time, beating out previous record holder Bohemian Rhapsody. Industry analysts attribute at least some of Oppenheimer's incredible success to the "Barbenheimer" cultural phenomenon, which encouraged moviegoers to see both Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwig's Barbie as a double feature.

While Barbenheimer proved to be good business for both Oppenheimer and Barbie, it caused headaches for other films released around the same time. This includes Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which premiered the same month as those films and struggled to compete at the box office. Despite this, Dead Reckoning Part One director Christopher McQuarrie insists he doesn't begrudge either movie for outperforming his own. "It's a triumph for films that are not sequels," McQuarrie said. "And in the case of Oppenheimer, a drama. What movies used to be all the time! [Dead Reckoning Part One star] Tom [Cruise] and I just look at each other all the time like, 'Man, it's just about quality.'"'

VFX studio DNEG (Best Visual Effects Oscar winner for Dune) is doing VFX and virtual production for the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series

Get ready for a voyage to the Four Nations and bending beyond belief: seven-time Academy Award-winning VFX studio DNEG is working on the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series currently in production. DNEG has won six of the last eight Oscars for Best Visual Effects, including taking this year’s crown with their breathtaking work on the space fantasy world of Dune (2021).

Today, DNEG announced a multi-year agreement with Avatar’s live-action streaming home Netflix, with one of their first projects being the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series currently near wrapping filming of Season 1 and projected for a release just about the end of the year or beginning of next. DNEG has said that they’re already at work on the series-- they have a long road ahead to bring the world of Avatar to life, but their track record of course speaks for itself-- and shared one, short, cryptic, iconic message:

“THE AVATAR RETURNS”

[denimbex1986]

'EXCLUSIVE: DNEG, the visual effects firm behind titles such as Oppenheimer, Dune, and Knives Out, has hired Oscar-winning VFX vet Tim Burke as Visual Effects Supervisor.

Burke will be based out of the company’s London office. Across a decades-long career, Burke’s most notable credits include Ridley Scott’s Gladiator, for which he picked up the Best Effects Oscar, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, for which he received a BAFTA for Best Special Visual Effects. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban earned him a Visual Effects Society Award for Outstanding Visual Effects in an Effects Driven Motion Picture.

Burke joins DNEG following his work as a production VFX Supervisor on The Little Mermaid, starring Halle Bailey. His other selected VFX Supervisor credits include Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Legend of Tarzan, and the last four films in the Harry Potter franchise, with director David Yates.

“The recognition that Tim has earned in our industry is incredibly well-deserved, and I am proud to welcome him to DNEG’s creative leadership team,” said Namit Malhotra, DNEG Chairman and CEO. “Tim has played an important role in the development and success of the visual effects industry in the UK as a talented and highly admired production VFX supervisor for directors such as Sir Ridley Scott, David Yates, and Alfonso Cuarón. I am thrilled to have him on board as part of our senior creative team as we chart the course for DNEG through the rest of 2023 and beyond.”

Talking about his new role, Burke said he has been working with DNEG as an independent VFX Supervisor for 20 years and has been “watching the facility grow from strength to strength” during that time.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was one of the most memorable films to supervise. It was the end of an era for everyone who had worked on the Potter films, which had been so instrumental in building the UK visual effects industry,” Burke said. “Working with DNEG to complete the final battle scenes and those memorable last shots of the kids standing in front of the destroyed Hogwarts was such an awe-inspiring thing to be part of – a moment in cinema history.”'
