Thank you to the AEAF for recognising our artists' hard work in today's list of finalists!

For the first time ever, you can see the raw plate footage of a film side by side with the version you saw in theatres. Of the 1,521 shots in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, only 38 of them did not feature VFX. We are extremely proud of the work our 1,000+ crew did in helping bring the film to life with Director Wes Ball and the talented cast and crew. This scene was just one of the amazing moments where the actors' performances shine through to their fully digital characters. Pick up a copy of the 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray tomorrow to see the side-by-side cut.

Dickie never saw it coming Did you? In this ominous Emmy Nominated Ripley episode, all the water, some of the blood and most of the boat were #VFX.

According to our VFX Supervisor Dan Macarin, the best way to experience the spectacle of #Alien:Romulus is on an IMAX screen, and we absolutely agree! See our teams work in cinemas everywhere now!
