UNIT Film & TV Expands Talented Team by appointing VFX Supervisor Paul Round 

UNIT Film & TV is proud to welcome Paul Round as VFX Supervisor, bringing with him decades of experience delivering complex, high-end visual effects across film and television. Known for his technical precision and ability to solve some of the industry’s most challenging sequences, Round joins UNIT at a time of continued creative and technological expansion.

Round has led work across major feature productions. His credits include three James Bond films, Casino Royale, Skyfall and Spectre, working closely with Director Sam Mendes to deliver large-scale, seamless visual effects within one of cinema’s most iconic franchises.

His wider body of work spans collaborations with some of the industry’s most celebrated filmmakers, including Ridley Scott, Martin Campbell, and Terry Gilliam. On Alien: Covenant, Round was responsible for delivering one of the film’s most complex sequences, a technically ambitious scene involving dual performances from a single actor that had previously been unsuccessfully attempted by multiple vendors. The final result became a standout moment in the film, widely recognised for its precision and invisibility.

Round’s filmography also includes VFX supervision on Judy, starring Renée Zellweger, his work as a Senior Compositor / VFX artist for Running Man alongside Director Edgar Wright, and his earlier work on Da Vinci’s Demons which earned him an Emmy nomination. Round has already established himself as a credible creative partner for UNIT, having supported as a compositing lead on their recent project Bait with Riz Ahmed. His work has consistently combined technical innovation with storytelling sensitivity, ensuring visual effects serve performance and narrative at the highest level.

At UNIT, Round will play a key role in continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in visual effects, working across film and TV to deliver ambitious, high-fidelity work at scale. UNIT continues to provide industry leading VFX, with recent projects including ITV’s new psychological drama ‘Gone’, Paramount’s Mobland and Sky’s upcoming British thriller series ‘Prisoner’

UNIT Founder Adam Luckwell said: “We’ve built UNIT around people who don’t just execute at the highest level, but who actively reshape how the work gets done. Paul brings that rare combination of experience, curiosity and problem-solving instinct, the kind of thinking that unlocks ideas others might walk away from. As we take on more ambitious, technically demanding projects, having someone of his calibre helps raise the bar across everything we do.”

UNIT VFX Supervisor Paul Round added: “UNIT has a reputation for leaning into the kind of work that others might see as too complex, whether that’s creature performance, seamless character work or technically ambitious sequences. That’s what really appealed to me. There’s a clear drive to push craft forward while embracing new ways of working, and that combination creates a really exciting environment to make standout work.”
