With the writer's strike entering its fifth week, a grass roots rally took place on December 9th in Los Angeles to encourage both sides to come to a quick resolution.

In our continuing and popular "Art of..." series, we tackle wire and rig removal. Far from being the most glamourous of visual effects, in reality wire removal is extremely challenging.

This week, we speak with longtime Kerner Optical DOP Marty Rosenberg about the company's past history and plans for the future.

Harry Potter is one of the great publishing stories of our time and the Warner Brothers films have consistently produced Muggles gold. We provide our own Patronus to explain the true wizards behind Privet Lane, giants, and charms, as well as go inside the Ministry this week in our fxpodcast with Double Negative's Paul Franklin. We also have notes from some other vfx shops involved in the movie.
