LIGHT London officially welcomes Ben Hicks as VFX Supervisor.
As LIGHT’s portfolio continues to grow and diversify, they have welcomed Ben Hicks to their London team as VFX Supervisor. With over two decades at leading UK studios, Ben brings an impressive body of work, including films such as Inception, Godzilla, Total Recall, and the TV series Mindhunter.
Ben’s expertise in compositing is well established; he led the team for the critically acclaimed Mank, directed by David Fincher. Most recently, he contributed to numerous episodic projects for platforms such as Amazon Prime and the BBC, as well as feature films like A Man Called Otto, a project that LIGHT was also proud to be part of.
This new chapter reunites Ben with Antoine Moulineau, founder of LIGHT and fellow VFX Supervisor. They shared a history of working together on Ron Howard’s Rush and John Carter. LIGHT is excited about the synergy Ben’s extensive compositing expertise brings to the team.
With LIGHT’s established presence in both London and France, and a studio capacity to accommodate 120 artists, Ben will support the teams across a wide range of productions.
The company has collaborated on high-profile productions such as John Wick 4 (delivering 183 shots), the epic Ridley Scott’s Napoleon, The Witcher season 3, the series of cinematic trailers for Batman: Arkham Shadow, and the last-ever Daft Punk music video among other notable work. By continuously enhancing its compositing capabilities and refining its craft, LIGHT remains committed to pushing the boundaries of excellence in the industry.
