The Academy Awards "bake-off" shortlist was announced in Los Angeles, California on January 5th 2011. Amongst the illustrious list of films vying to be named on the final list of nominees for the VFX Oscar, were four movies that boasted the work of UK and Singapore based visual effects house, Double Negative. The 12-year old VFX company was a key player in Inception, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Iron Man 2 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, all of which will be presented at the bake-off in L.A. on January 20th, 2011.















Talking to AnimationXpress Asia Pacific Dneg's CEO, Matt Holben, "We're incredibly proud and excited to see so much of our work over the last year represented at the bake-offs. It's a great honour to be included at this level and we're in awe of both the exemplary work we are in competition with and the amazing VFX that our own teams have created."

Double Negative has enjoyed a long relationship with Inception's director, Christopher Nolan, having worked on Batman Begins and The Dark Knight (for which Dneg’s VFX Supervisor Paul Franklin was nominated for an Academy Award), and this strong relationship led to the company creating the vast majority of the VFX with New Deal Studios supplying the miniatures..
