Announcing a Record-Breaking Start to 2009
UNIT, one of the UK’s leading post-production and creative service companies, today announces a record-breaking start to 2009 and the appointments of Toby Brockhurst as VFX Supervisor, Will Davies as 3D Artist and Ben Young as After Effects finisher.
In January, UNIT doubled its BBC project wins compared to the same period last year, and was running at full capacity, with almost all its suites fully booked. Commercials work and vfx projects are flourishing in particular, and the recent appointments of Toby and Ben to the UNIT Effects department further bolster UNIT’s pool of talent.
Adam Luckwell, CEO of UNIT, comments: “UNIT continues to expand and strengthen its position as one of Soho’s leading post-production houses. The visual effects department, in particular, is winning a host of great projects, and we are dedicated to continuing its growth. UNIT has begun the year with a phenomenal bang and the depth of experience and level of expertise of the new appointments will be invaluable to our continued expansion.”
