Outpost VFX has appointed VFX supervisor Andy Hargreaves to its London team.

Hargreaves’ career spans 25 years including stints at Dneg and MPC Episodic.

His credits include Prehistoric Planet (for which he was nominated for awards by the HPA and the Royal Television Society), The Irregulars, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and Marvel’s Inhumans. He most recently oversaw VFX for the upcoming Amazon series, Anansi Boys.

Hargreaves said: “I’m thrilled to be joining the team at Outpost having long been an admirer of the quality and scope of the work that’s produced here. It’s clear that we also share the same ethos of creating a great environment for artists and clients, so it’s brilliant to see the studio continuing to go from strength to strength.

“For me, this job is as much about the people, the relationships and the creative journey as it is about the final pixels on screen. I’ve always believed that the best work is created by people who love what they do and love to collaborate, whether that’s working with your team in house or with your clients.”

Rachel Matchett, UK managing director for Outpost, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Andy to Outpost VFX. His keen approach to creating a positive environment for artists and clients is always evident, and we’re really pleased to add another highly experienced creative leader to our UK team. His popularity amongst the teams he’s been a part of over the years speaks volumes about his character and his commitment to delivering exceptional work.”

Outpost VFX has studios in the UK, Montreal and Mumbai.
