Double Negative made a big impact at the 9th Annual VES awards which took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles last night, winning 3 awards for Inception.  The company won awards in the following categories: Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual-Effects Driven Feature Motion Picture, Outstanding Created Environment in a Live Action Feature Motion Picture and Outstanding Compositing in a Feature Motion Picture. 


 


DNeg's CEO, Matt Holben says, "We're thrilled for the winners and the entire team on Inception.  Everybody at DNeg works hard to create the finest work we can and these awards are a great tribute to the team effort as well as each individual.  We'd also like to extend our congratulations to Christopher Nolan on receiving the inaugural VES Visionary Award last night and thank him for the opportunity to work on such an amazing film." 


Double Negative created all the visual effects for Christopher Nolan's critically acclaimed film, with miniatures being provided by New Deal Studios, who also won the award for Models and Miniatures.  Some of the highlights of the work included the surreal Paris folding sequence and Limbo city.
