On the 14Feb 2011 we had Lewis from Double Negative give us a presentation and talk about what the industry is like and how to approach a potential career in the games/media industry. The topic he touched on was how to get into the industry (Moving Picture Company). how he got in, the jobs he had to do for the first 2 years as a runner where he made tea and coffe for other employees and assisted them in every way possible. He also gave us an insight into what he does currently and how much he earns doing it.I found it very useful as he encouraged us to get out there and make the effort to get noticed. He also explained what it is that he does for Double Negative, and what they're all about. Double Negative is always busy on a dazzling assortment of visual effects for major motion pictures, from the latest block-busters to smaller, independent productions.
Double Negative, located in the heart of London's Soho, was set up in 1998 with a team of 30 staff. Since then the company has grown to 900+ staff, making it Europe's largest provider of visual effects for Film. In 2009, Double Negative opened the doors to its Singapore office. Currently housing a team of 90+, the Singapore office works closely with the Double Negative team in London, on selected productions. Through our steady and constant growth we have always sought to retain the creative drive and involvement of our artists through all projects, continuing to ensure that they have a close collaboration with clients.
Here are just a few examples of the films Double Negative have worked on in terms of visual effects.
