“It’s the gift that keeps on giving,” says Colin Renshaw, co-founder and VFX Supervisor of Alt.vfx. “We have had a stellar awards season. We have had a stellar first year. For a new company it’s great to see our attitude and approach paying dividends. It’s all about fearlessness. We will sail into the eye of the storm if the idea warrants it.”

“We are proud of the fact that in our first year we are doing work of this calibre and competing with the best in the world,” says Takeshi Takada (left), co-founder and Executive Producer at Alt. “It’s a great showcase for Brisbane and the great talent we have here.”

“Yes, all these awards are nice,” says Renshaw. “I just hope it wasn’t a fluke.”
