It all started with us looking for a man in finance and becoming obsessed with book-tok, before embarking on a brat summer accompanied by the world's cutest pygmy hippo... 2024 was one hell of a year on TikTok, celebrated in our latest work for the brand, creatively led by our very own Paul Mitchell!

There's A LOT of work that goes into making photo-real creatures, especially those as cute as our friend Blub Blub - the festive Disney octopus that's been taking over your screens this Christmas. Here's a look behind the scenes of how Taika Waititi-directed Disney short 'The Boy and the Octopus' was made.

Our team continued its run of awards last night for the Tattooist of Auschwitz with a win at the Royal Television Society awards last night! The jury said this was “a brilliant use of VFX including tattoo and body replacements, with 600 expertly crafted shots that sensitively enhanced the storytelling.” We are very proud to have contributed to such an important story, and are thrilled to see our talented team being recognised for their artistry. Congratulations to all the winners and nominees, and again to our friends at Union Visual Effects!

Last week our VFX work on The Tattooist of Auschwitz was awarded for Excellence in VFX at the Broadcast Tech & Innovation awards! The judges quoted: ‘a triumph, incredibly technical work and impressively executed’. This was a particularly special project for Untold, being technically and creatively, but also emotionally challenging. We are very proud to have contributed to such a story. Thank you to Simon Giles, Alan Church, Claire Mundell, Synchronicity Films & Sky for allowing us the privilege of this experience. Congratulations to all the winners & nominees, in particular to our friends at Union Visual Effects!
