MPC R&D creates technology that our world-class artists use to produce awesome movies that are enjoyed by millions
Our status as a world-class visual effects facility has been achieved through a compelling mix of great artists and powerful technology. This pairing of creative genius with innovative technology is key to consistently delivering ever-more spectacular results. The scale of MPC Film is unrivalled in the VFX industry – we have more artists working on more movies than anyone else, and our team is right beside them making sure we deliver. This means we must tackle many different technology themes – from managing a global production team, to handling the colossal amount of data generated across 20+ movies a year, to leading the way in real-time virtual production.
