The Emmy’s are coming up soon and while the main focus is generally on the categories of Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Television Drama, Comedy, etc and award that is oftentimes overlooked by the general public, but plays a tremendously huge role within the television and film industry is those for VFX.

I’ve had a weird feeling about television lately, at least going into this year’s Emmy nominations. Not sure entirely why, but I’ve had this growing sense that it’s mostly been an overall, odd year. It’s almost like it’s an off-year election, it’s critically important and major we’re not quite betting on the biggest players or
