Welcome to the Spring 2025 issue of VFX Voice!

Welcome to the Winter 2025 issue of VFX Voice!

Welcome to the Winter 2025 issue of VFX Voice!

Thank you for being a part of the global VFX Voice community!

Coming out of a much-anticipated awards season, this issue of VFX Voice shines a light on the 23rd Annual VES Awards gala. Congratulations again to all of our outstanding nominees, winners and honorees!

Our cover story takes us inside the stop-motion animated Memoir of a Snail. We share a behind-the-scenes look at The Electric State with the Russo brothers and delve into trends around retro effects, real-time VFX, the unsung technical heroes of the pipeline and the rise of high-quality indie film VFX. We highlight the latest in LED volumes, virtual production and Gen AI in schools. And circling the globe, we deliver a special focus on emerging VFX markets in Europe, South Africa and the Middle East… and we put our New Zealand Section in the spotlight.

Share the joy with our VES Awards photo gallery capturing the festive celebration that awarded outstanding artistry and innovation in 25 categories and honored Virtual Reality/Immersive Technology Pioneer Dr. Jacquelyn Ford Morie with the Georges Méliès Award, Golden Globe-winning actor-producer Hiroyuki Sanada with the VES Award for Creative Excellence, and Academy Award-winning filmmaker and VFX Supervisor Takashi Yamazaki with the Visionary Award.

Dive in and meet the innovators and risk-takers who push the boundaries of what’s possible and advance the field of visual effects.

Cheers!

Kim Davidson, Chair, VES Board of Directors

Nancy Ward, VES Executive Director
