The Oscar winning VFX supervisor and filmmaker, known for his work on ‘Interstellar’ and ‘Inception,’ as well as co-founding DNEG in 1998, follows fellow co-founders Matt Holben and Alex Hope to the Canada, UK and India-based studio.
Veteran visual effects supervisor and filmmaker Paul Franklin has joined beloFX as creative director. In addition for his Oscar-winning work on Interstellar and Inception, he also supervised VFX for Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. Other credits include Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Venom, and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
With a 35-year career in visual effects, Franklin previously spent 26 years at DNEG, a company he co-founded in 1998. Now at beloFX, he reunites with DNEG co-founders Matt Holben and Alex Hope.
“I am very excited to be joining the fantastically talented team at beloFX,” said Franklin. “I am looking forward to hitting the ground running and helping shape the future of our industry!”
As creative director, Franklin will play a key role in shaping new opportunities for collaboration with directors, filmmakers and beloFX’s studio clients. Additionally, he will provide creative guidance and support for all shows and their teams.
“After working alongside Paul for decades, I’ve seen firsthand how his creativity drives innovation,” said Hope. “His unwavering commitment to pushing visual effects to new heights is exactly the type of forward-thinking approach that defines our mission at beloFX. I couldn’t be prouder to welcome him to the team, and I look forward to this exciting new chapter for us all”.
