ABOUT

A joy to see Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones reunite for a feature-length episode of their acclaimed sitcom Detectorists, which came to BBC Two on Boxing Day.

It was a pleasure to work on the animation & invisible VFX. The project saw JAM VFX’s resident animator Nick Smith drawing, conceptualising & bringing the reliquary sequence to life.

SIMILAR PROJECTS:

I have worked with many Vis FX companies over the years but most recently with JAMFX and the I found the experience to be by far the best.  The most crucial element for me is the communication and I found this to be fantastic.    I was able to speak to our supervisor any time – no problem was too big or small for them to sort.   We were on a very tight deadline and they delivered ahead of time and the work was exemplary.     They are also an incredibly creative company and always felt that they cared about the project and had invested time in understanding what was needed.
 
I know that our whole team from our director to our post producer enjoyed the experience and crucially, plan to work with them again.
