La Visual Effects Society a décerné ses prix annuels, lors de la 9ème édition des VES Awards, centrés sur les effets visuels : VFX, compositing, animation… La liste des gagnants est donc tombée !
On regrettera que les étudiants d’ArtFx, nominés pour leur court Nuisible(s), n’aient pas gagné. Des français sont tout de même présents, pour le travail réalisé sur la publicité Citroën C3, qui a impliqué les équipes de Mikros Image.
