Patrick Felgueras and Jeff Jaffers opens Sydney- based post production company Mirage VFX
Visual effects specialist Patrick Felgueras (far left) and executive producer Jeff Jaffers (near left) have teamed up to open Mirage VFX, a new Sydney-based post production company housing a collection of skilled artists to produce cinema-quality visual effects and animation for advertising and film in the Asia Pacific region.
Mirage VFX employs a highly specialised team of feature film VFX artists and offers their services for TVC production projects. VFX veteran Felguerus, whose work can be seen on features including Happy Feet and King Kong, leads the team. Globally recognised, he’s worked out of 20 cities, managed 60-plus crew production teams in Europe and has overseen large-scale jobs out of Asia and Australia.
“Our company is unique in that we offer a creative service that looks at the whole picture and can accommodate for all visual effects at our studio, plus we have access to TVC directors,” says co-founder Jaffers. “We don’t rely solely on 3D as a cure for all visual effects but we offer an integrated approach, combining the traditional craft with current tech solutions,” he adds.
Mirage VFX is also backed by international expertise with its recent alliance with award-winning Spanish studio Vando. A 3D animation company based in Barcelona, Vando is comprised of three of the country’s top visual graphic talents with a combined experience of over 40 years in the industry, working across film, advertising and gaming.
Mirage VFX comes complete with an in-house Pride built 11 axis motion control rig, shooting studio, access to model makers, Red One/Epic camera, stereoscopic colour grading suite, 300 core render farm and 3D facilities.
The post house has recently produced work on numerous feature and television projects, including Bank Mandiri and Birds Eye TVC. Information on other projects will be available upon official release.
