HK Visual FX companies?

Postby Tim C » Thu Apr 21, 2005 10:00 pm

Hi all

Im new to this site and very new to the on goings of the HK film/movie/visual FX industry.

Could anyone point me in the right direction in terms of what companies there are in HK for visual fx or related fields as I plan to come to HK and possibly gain employment in this industry or related.

I'm currently working for a company call WETA Digital in Wellington, NewZealand and have been for a few years now.
I worked on the movies "The Lord of the Rings" and at the moment "King Kong" just so you get an idea of what kind of company I work for.

Any info would be great! :)

cheers all
