Last week, the British Film Institute hosted The Art of VFX: Creating Worlds, Shaping Visions as part of the London Film Festival, bringing together industry leaders to discuss how VFX continues to shape contemporary filmmaking.

Our COO and co-founder, Ellen Walder, joined Fiona Walkinshaw (Framestore), Sara Bennett (Milk Visual Effects), and Arpita Venugopal (One of Us) for a wide-ranging conversation on creative collaboration, early integration, and the practical realities of AI and emerging technologies within production workflows.

Moderated by Ian Haydn Smith, the discussion offered a thoughtful look at where the industry is heading — and how VFX continues to play a central role in shaping both vision and process across modern filmmaking.

Our thanks to the British Film Institute, Ian Haydn Smith, and everyone in attendance for such an engaged and considered conversation.
