- 4 years ago
VFX Legion, a remote boutique-style global company, has announced the opening of a full-scale division in British Columbia. An early proponent of the virtualization of visual effects, industry veteran James David Hattin launched the company in 2013, introducing a groundbreaking collaborative work-from-home business model almost a decade before COVID-19 made social distancing essential. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the company’s new Kelowna-based division takes its road-tested remote visual effect services to the next level.
With security a top priority, and crucial to its expansion strategy, VFX Legion set up the new location with TPN certification and remote workstations housed in a lockdown space. It also significantly increases the company's storage capacity. A built-out virtual private cloud keeps all content on-premises providing artists with immediate access and clients with total control over their assets. The studio's size and layout allow for social distancing with multiple offices, rather than an oversized open workspace.
Dylan Yestremski oversees the company's B.C. arm, bringing strong managerial and creative skills to his new positions as head of production and partner in thenew venture.
Fully remote since inception, our leading-edge pipeline, seamless workflow, honed protocols, and scalable collective of remote-savvy artists are well-established,” adds Hattin. "Without the distraction of adapting to new workflow and software, our focus remains where it's always been - on applying our creative and technical ingenuity to producing digital imagery that meets the challenges of an ever-changing industry.
Every episodic series that's worked with VFX Legion has returned season after season through series finals, since the company launched - attesting to a remote approach that consistently elevates visual stories, and gets the most out of every budget. 'How to Get Away with Murder,' 'Madam Secretary,' 'Scandal,' 'Suits,' 'Eye Candy,' 'Revolution,' 'The Catch,' and 'Gone' are among its television series credits. Feature film work includes 'Hardcore Henry,' 'The Gift,' '12 Strong,' 'Ithaca,' 'The Circle,' 'Please Stand By,' 'Jem and the Holograms,' 'Superfly,' 'Sinister 2,' and 'Ma,' to name a few.
