VFX Legion, the Architect of a Pioneering Remote Pipeline, Brings Almost a Decade’s Experience Working Exclusively with Home-Based Artists-Uniquely Positioning The Company To Provide Film & Episodic Series with High-Quality VFX and Seamless Workflow During the Current Health Crisis <br /><br /><br />The Forerunner of a Next-Generation Remote VFX Business Model Creating VFX Services for Films and Episodic Series Since its Inception - Legion Bring Eight Years' Experience Delivering Remote VFX Services Without Compromising Quality - While Enabling Artists to Work in a Safe Environment During the Pandemic<br /><br /><br />The film and television industry's top priority since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the health of its employees. Companies have moved quickly to find ways to adapt in-house staff to work-from-home scenarios that minimize health risks. VFX Legion, the pioneer of a collaborative remote business model, is uniquely positioned ahead of the curve, with a collective of 100+ artists working from the safety of their homes already in place. <br /><br />The LA-based company, with a satellite studio in B.C., meets the challenge of the current crisis with almost a decade of experience in the remote arena, providing feature films and episodic series with high-quality, cost-effective visual effects.<br /><br />Founder James David Hattin is the architect of VFX Legion's next-generation remote pipeline. Built from the ground up, it integrates state-of-the-art technology with innovative, off-label collaborative capabilities that provide seamless remote workflow. <br /><br /> Launched in 2013, the company brings together a diverse team of specialized home-based talent in a transparent virtual work environment - with the connectivity to efficiently manage the complexities of a visual effects production process with a daunted number of moving parts.<br /><br />“Working remotely to produce visual effects presents unique challenges,” says Hattin. “It takes large teams of artists with specialized disciples to create multiple components for a shot that fit together seamlessly in composite, blend into a computer-generated environment, and produce the mix of effects needed to augment footage.”<br /><br />The range of remote capabilities enabling VFX talent to work as a cohesive unit provides invaluable flexibility, but it is not a simple task. It took Hattin over a year to develop and build a remote pipeline that taps the potential of digital connectivity to meet the challenges that complex visual effects present. <br /><br />"The time we invested upfront, developing the structure, methodology, procedures, and other essential elements, was well spent,” says Hattin. “It allowed us to build a ground-breaking state-of-the-art remote pipeline, hone our approach and grow a diverse collective of experienced artists.” <br /><br />VFX Legion is poised to meet the new challenges that the pandemic presents without the need to adapt the company’s workflow.
