SHERLOCK HOLMES'S VFX WINS VES AWARD

Chas Jarrett, Dan Barrow, Jonathan Fawkner and Double Negative's David Vickery were honoured with the award for Outstanding Supporting Visual Effects in a Feature Motion Picture for their work on Sherlock Holmes at the VES Awards last night.

Double Negative is proud to congratulate the award winners and all the Dneg team on Sherlock Holmes for their outstanding work.

The Dneg team, led by Visual Effects Supervisor David Vickery worked mainly on the recreation of 19th century London, including the docklands area and the half-built Tower Bridge.
