Iloura and Method Studios, two vfx companies owned by Deluxe, have announced that they will unify under a single brand: Method Studios.
The combined team now has offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Vancouver, Los Angeles, New York, Pune, Chicago, and Atlanta, and it will continue producing work across a wide range of platforms including features, television, design, advertising, and immersive experiences.
Iloura, which has a 30-year production history in Australia, won a 2016 vfx Emmy for its work on Game of Thrones and has worked on two recent Oscar-nommed vfx films: Mad Max: Fury Road and Deepwater Horizon. The studio also worked on the recent Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Thor: Ragnarok. Notably, the studio has done a fair share of cartoon-oriented cg, including the Spongebob characters in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water and the titular character in Seth MacFarlane’s Ted films.
