The 2021 Visual Effects Society Awards Spotlight Signiant Customers

The letters V E and S in white next above the words visual effects society, and a yellow face with a pencil over one eye.

Recognition is important in any industry. In media and entertainment, we see thousands of hours over many months, or even years, poured into projects. Industry awards are a moment to acknowledge and celebrate the skill, artistry, and intelligence creative and technical professionals dedicate to their craft.

Signiant congratulates customers whose achievements were honored by the Visual Effects Society, both as winners and nominees. Thank you for your incredible talents! Thank you for being a Signiant customer.

This year Signiant customers Base VFX, Clear Angle Studios, Company 3, Double Negative, FX3X, Industrial Light & Magic, Rodeo FX, Spin VFX, and The Third Floor were recognized with nominations in several categories.
