The Fellowship of VFX
The time has come to return to Middle-earth in Amazon’s, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The behemoth project lands on the streaming service today, and we’d like to say a huge congrats to our colleagues in MTL who worked on this landmark series under the Method Studios banner. Prepare for a pilgrimage to new and majestic realms with this teaser below.
Film Blanc
Last Wednesday 31st, White Noise opened the 79th Venice Film Festival and has already been given five stars by The Guardian who dubbed it a “blackly comic blast,” read on to find out why.
The Venice and New York Film Festival contender (featuring work from our MTL whizzkids) will receive a month-long exclusive theatrical run at selected venues from November 25th before it lands on Netflix on December 30th, but you need not wait until then to make some noise, because we have a teaser for you here!

MTL bonfire
Last Friday, MTL’s compositing department bonded by bonfire (no, not THAT Bonfire). The team had a wonderful evening filled with sangria, hors d’oeuvres and great conversation. It was inspiring to see the department so connected, the rapport among the team is undeniable.
Welcome back!
MTL welcomed the paint and roto team back into the office last week. With more than half of the team finally able to be onsite, it was cause for celebration (in the form of pizza). A fitting way to welcome the gang back together!
The Layout team have also begun their return to the office by way of blue arches. It really is lovely to see them together again.
