EXCLUSIVE: The UK-based VFX and animation company Jellyfish Pictures has launched a new VFX production outpost in Toronto.
The company’s move across the Atlantic further expands its international footprint after the launch of Jellyfish Pictures in India last spring. Today, the buzzy company said that setting up a base in Canada “will ensure that the business can continue to work closely with the best global talent available.”
“I am thrilled for us to expand our VFX division into Canada,” said Phil Greenlow, Managing Director of VFX. “ Jellyfish Pictures is powered by a global community of amazing artists. Since some of the world’s finest VFX talent is concentrated in Toronto, it’s the obvious next stop on our international road map. Coupled with the recent influx of production activity in Ontario, we can’t wait for our team to create compelling visual effects in this vibrant location.”
CEO David Patton added: “It’s an exciting time for Jellyfish Pictures, as we continue to grow our talented team of creatives and further expand our operations globally. We opened our 200-seat Mumbai studio at the end of last year and believe now is the right time for us to establish a strong presence in the Canadian market.”
Jellyfish Pictures’ recent VFX credits include feature films The Creator and Asteroid City, television projects The Gentlemen and Constellation, and the Oscar-winning live-action short, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. Upcoming 2024 projects include Ellen Kuras’ Lee, starring Kate Winslet, Netflix’s Kaos, and the highly anticipated fantasy adventure series Nautilus.
