MIRAMONTE, CA — VFX veteran Joseph Bell has published the "Visual Effects World Atlas," a comprehensive overview of the artists who work in the global industry. The atlas is available as a free download (vfxatlas.com) and is designed to foster a sense of community among artists working around the world.
Bell has 20 years of experience, working at studios that include Industrial Light & Magic, The Mill and FuseFX. In addition to leadership roles at visual effects studios, Bell provides specialized management consulting services to investors looking into the industry, and VFX studios engaged in strategic growth through his consulting business, HDRI Consulting.
“Technology tends to grab a lot of headlines," he states. "The VFX business is fundamentally still driven by human talent. I wanted to chart the people of the visual effects industry, the skillsets they possess, and where in the world they’re located.”
