MPC announced that it has hired VFX supervisors Diarmid Harrison-Murray and Jon Park to work in its London studio.
Harrison-Murray joins MPC from Framestore, where he was head of 3D commercials. His portfolio of work includes the iconic James Bond Skyfall title sequence, Coca-Cola “Siege,” Lux “Neon Girl,” Pepsi “Crowd Surfing” and a game trailer for “DJ Hero.” He also recently directed a charming fully CG commercial for Three Mobile, entitled “The Big Fish.”
Park is also one half of the directing duo White Rabbit with his creative partner Grant White. The duo direct animation, CG and live action, and have worked on a succession of film projects for clients including Daft Punk, The Horrors and Nokia.
“We are delighted to welcome Diarmid and Jon to the team. Both are outstanding artists who are well placed to strengthen MPC’s VFX and directing talent,” said MD Graham Bird. “Jon has worked with MPC’s Motion Design studio in the past, directing a short film for the Daft Punk album launch at the Shard last year and it was clear he was a perfect fit for the team. Diarmid is renowned in the industry, working with high-profile directors on cutting-edge projects.”
