Leading Visual Effects Supervisor Joins LipSync Post
LipSync has appointed Sean Farrow to join its growing VFX department as Executive Visual Effects Supervisor. Farrow will work alongside LipSync’s Head of VFX, Stefan Drury, in expanding the US and International client base as well as overseeing VFX on film projects going through the facility.
Stefan Drury, Head of VFX, LipSync, said, “As the reputation of our VFX department continues to flourish, with high profile and varied projects such as Fantastic Mr Fox, Nowhere Boy, Kick Ass and Mr Nice coming through the doors, Sean’s appointment underlines how far we have come in just three years. He has worked on some incredibly complex and creative projects, he is full of ideas and inspiration, and instils confidence in both clients and the team. I am certain that he will be a valuable asset to LipSync.”
Farrow said, “I’ve been a LipSync client on two occasions and they handled those projects superbly, both creatively and technically, on time and within budget. The company has a strong creative and professional ethic in what they do which I find very attractive and, as a privately owned independent company, they have a good deal of flexibility and autonomy. This is an opportunity for me to grow within a company that is attracting some very exciting projects, and I believe that my experience will in turn help LipSync to expand further.”
Farrow’s most recent credits include Angels and Demons, Cheri and the forthcoming Richard Loncraine film The Special Relationship. He was also the independent Visual Effects Supervisor on The Secret of Moonacre and 1408, both of which were completed at LipSync. In addition to film work his television credits include Rome, Hustle and Band of Brothers.
