(Source: solidstategroup.com) VFXmarketplace.com brings together the buyers and suppliers of visual effects. Set up by Emmy award winning VFX supervisor Tim Webber and Peter Horne, it offers a radical new approach to providing basic visual effects.
Visual Effects (VFX) has become an increasing element of production in the film industry. VFXMarketplace aims to enable increased specialisation within the industry, allowing buyers to focus on more complex VFX, knowing that they can call on responsive capacity when they need it.
The Problem
Visual effects (VFX) has become an increasing element of production in the film industry. Each new film requires more complex VFX techniques more often which loads more work onto the already busy VFX companies. Outsourcing the less complex VFX work such as wire removal, paint and roto is commonplace in large VFX companies but this can sometimes be expensive, cumbersome and lead to poor quality or even worse, delays on client deadlines.
Peter and Tim realised that a Visual Effects procurement application could solve this problem and enable production companies to reliably outsource VFX work on a global scale.
There are many skilled individuals across the globe that can’t get into the VFX market because they aren\u2019t well known, or don’t live in the right location. There are many Buyers who wish to outsource some of their basic Visual Effects work for a competitive price to reliable and accredited suppliers in return for work of excellent quality.
The aim of VFXmarketplace.com is to cater for these individuals and buyers, providing the most skilled and reliable artists with work at the best price, and a database of suppliers who meet the Buyers requirements.
