Chris Lawrence
Since winning an Oscar for Gravity, Chris has been nominated for a further three Academy Awards. His work has taken him all over the cosmos and much of planet earth, and as a Production VFX Supervisor he has collaborated closely with the likes of Marc Forster, George Clooney, John Krasinski and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Chris enjoys the epic variety of challenges each project brings, but a common thread unites his work: he loves to collaborate with filmmakers and animators to make the impossible possible. This often involves developing or adapting the latest technology to suit the unique needs of the production, while passionately protecting the authenticity and creative goals central to the film’s storytelling.
Over the years this has led him to pioneer techniques in virtual production, simulation and performance capture, as well as embracing analogue visualisation techniques using puppets and stunt actors for visceral, grounded visual effects shots that are proudly invisible. Whether it is becoming an expert in orbital physics, beloved bears, or indestructible London taxis, Chris brings an enthusiasm and sensitivity to the work that shines through in every shot.
