Misc Studios, a Noho-based VFX house, has opened, having been created by Adam Luckwell (pictured left) and Michael Elson (pictured right). The company is focused on high-end international film and TV production and says its ethos is centered around mental health, inclusivity, sustainability, and an open culture.

Elson has a wealth of experience working at VFX studios, including The Mill, MPC and Prime Focus as well as production-side roles. He established the MPC film department with a team of six in 1998, building the team to over 650 in London and establishing MPC’s first overseas studio in Vancouver.

Meanwhile, Luckwell owns and runs post-production and VFX house Unit.

Misc plans to grow to 200 in London and expand to a similar size internationally. It’s currently working on The Rig (Amazon Studios), Trapper Keeper (LucasFilm), and Disney+ Original series, Nautilus.

  • The atmosphere at MPTS has been amazing this year. MPTS is definitely one of the industry’s most diverse shows, if not the most diverse, both in terms of attendees and panelists. A huge amount of work goes into making sure that there is equal representation across an extensive conference programme.

  • I think this year 2024 is probably the most innovative, cutting-edge, head-of-the-curve MPTS that I’ve exhibited at so far. I think even compared to last year, attendees really know what they’re looking for when it comes to cloud, AI, virtual production, all of the buzz words, all of the emerging technologies, everyone’s really embraced it.
