Escape Studios Top Five Holiday Flicks

Here are the flicks we plan to take in this holiday season—time permitting. Some have excellent visual effects to offer. MPC, Framestore and Bluebolt worked on the visual effects for Sherlock Holmes, Weta Digital for Tintin and Digital Domain and Method did the VFX work for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. You’ll find the work of ILM in Mission Impossible and Framestore and The Third Floor had much to do with the VFX in War Horse. Do click through the links to see the other work presented by these VFX houses. Many of these groups have members on our advisory board and we are proud to be associated with them. They do good work.
