Such a special night every year reconnecting with and celebrating visual effects at @TheAcademy bake-off, but what made this one so special was seeing the range of artistry on display, from indie to blockbuster and from truly global films to animation 🎥

👏🏽 Love seeing directors celebrating ALL the crafts of moving movies 👏🏽 Even more invisible is the real-time virtual scouting @UnrealEngine & LED ICVFX with @disguise_one that brought the pre-production & on-set experience to life. Innovation can truly come from anywhere 🇪🇸

Yes, they are “invisible” but, trust me, they are THERE. Take a look at the extraordinary job done by the VFX, special effects and stunt teams who made possible to tell the Society of the Snow true story with painstaking attention to detail and realism. Thank you, @Laura_Pedro, El Ranchito VFX, @twinpinesVFX, @Lamppostvfx, @MiopiaFx and @GlassworksVFX! #SocietyoftheSnow #LaSociedadDeLaNieve In theaters this week January 4 on Netflix

Super proud of our teams and partners for helping putting this together for fans around the world to step into the world of our biggest stories! 🎥
Here’s @ZackSnyder directing fans at #CCXP23. @netflix set up a virtual set for #rebelmoon & people can do a scene which is then inserted into trailer which you’re sent after. Tons of fans are here wanting to be directed by Snyder. I’ve never seen a director do this at a con.

I tend to be intentionally selective on where I speak publicly, but an area of personal passion is sharing my journey and perspective on innovation in entertainment with filmmakers and students of filmmaking. @TheAcademy 📺lnkd.in/gYHQqDgq 📚lnkd.in/gFfZjHUH

I wanna know who edited this so I can bow down to them. I don’t think regular people realize how difficult it is to edit a multi-movie trailer like this, and to choose the exact right sound bites from both the movies and the overarching song. This is a masterwork.

Watched #GlassOnion? Check this neat interactive @Sketchfab experience our teams put together to celebrate the work behind the scenes 🏝️
This is pretty cool - and brings the beautiful work of our production designer Rick Heinrichs to life. Also makes me want a Myst style game set on the island.

Surreal that our new East Coast production hub will be not just state-of-the-art but a stones throw from where I grew up in New Jersey! Exciting to see a revitalized filmmaking ecosystem built within the Garden State in the years to come 🎥 www-nj-com.cdn.ampproject.or…
Netflix is coming to town!  Our administration always knew NJ was a star—that’s why we worked so hard to build our entertainment industry from the ground up. Now, we are thrilled the former Fort Monmouth campus will officially be home to Netflix's East Coast production facility!
