VFX house Misc opens in Noho
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.
