Animation and visual effects studio Sony Pictures Imageworks has confirmed what many in the industry had suspected for a long while: the studio is moving its headquarters from Los Angeles to Vancouver, Canada to take advantage of generous tax credits provided by the Canadian government. This move, combined with Digital Domain’s jump to Vancouver and Rhythm & Hues’ bankruptcy, prompted Variety’s VFX chronicler David S. Cohen to say that the Los Angeles feature film visual effects industry is “in full collapse.
The new Vancouver studio will be located in the Pacific Centre shopping mall, directly above a Nordstrom department store. Expected to be fully operational by 2015, the studio will have the capacity to house 700 employees.

First it was Polish plumbers, now it is Polish artists. In a damning indictment of Britain's art schools, two Oscar-winning British film-makers have recruited 60 Polish painters to work on their latest animation because they claim they could not find artists here with the right skills.
Loving Vincent tells the story of Vincent van Gogh through moving images of his masterpieces. Hugh Welchman and David Parfitt, its producers, hoped to hire British artists to recreate more than 1,000 of the painter's works, but say they were unable to find sufficient homegrown talent.

Glad to be born in Poland! Well done guys!
