simon01sm.jpgOne of the most experienced and sought after animation directors and VFX supervisors around, Simon Maddison of CE Sydney cements his creative relationship with Carnival as one of its specialist directors.

Says Maddison: “Having a company like Carnival to help realize the many and varied visions that get thrown our way is incredibly exciting. We’ve always had such a great experience working together and it just made sense to take that collaboration to this next level.”

As one of the founders and former owners of FuelVFX, Maddison’s enviable back catalogue as animation director includes Cowboys and Aliens, Charlotte’s Web and Marvel’s Avengers. He has directed and been responsible for the character development of many local and international brands, including the ‘Bankwest Squirrel’, ‘Wrigley’s Extra Active’, V Energy ‘Grasshoppers’ and Nike ‘Freeknit’.

Says Benjamin Flaxman, senior producer: “Simon is an excellent collaborator and I’ve had many wonderful opportunities to work with him since he joined CE Sydney. He comes with a very strong vision of what he wants to capture, is extremely knowledgeable in how to achieve it and the end results are some of the best effects work out there, thanks to him and the CE team. He can work closely with our tabletop directors on integrated food commercials or working as an independent artist on any VFX project. I think it’s a fantastic opportunity for clients to be able to engage one person to be both director and VFX supervisor who will see a project all the way through – they get the best of both worlds.”
