STOCKHOLM & LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Philip Engström, VFX Supervisor and Chelsea Mirus, VFX Production Manager represented Important Looking Pirates (“ILP”) on the Shōgun ballot at the award ceremony in Los Angeles, winning the Emmy in the Special Visual Effects In A Season Or A Movie category.
ILP had the honour of contributing to 7 out of the 10 episodes for the FX series, which was led by overall VFX supervisor Michael Cliett, and won a record-breaking 14 Creative Arts Emmy awards and is poised to extend that streak at the Primetime Emmys later this week. With an emphasis on historical authenticity, ILP was responsible for large-scale full CG environments, vast crowd work, a devastating landslide and sweeping marine simulations.
In addition to Shōgun, ILP was recognized with nominations for 2 of the remaining 4 visual effects nominees at this year’s awards: Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender with Niklas Jacobson as VFX Supervisor and Amazon’s Fallout with Ahmed Gharraph as VFX Supervisor. Additionally, the studio was a significant contributor to Disney’s Ashoka that was also a visual effects nominee.
ILP’s founder Niklas Jacobson, who was also in LA as a nominee, commented: “We have been nominated eight years in a row, but this is the first win since 2016 for Westworld. I am enormously proud of our team who put their heart and soul into the work on Shōgun. We’ve had an incredible night in Los Angeles and couldn’t be more grateful for the attention for our work.”
