Today on the befores & afters podcast, a special sponsored podcast episode featuring the leadership of Phantom Media Group, or PMG.

In recent months, you may have seen that PMG has acquired a range of visual effects studios. These include Tippett Studio, Milk VFX and Lola Post. PMG is also made up of PhantomFX and Spectre Post.

In this podcast, we talk about the consolidation that has occurred between these studios, which of course is all happening during one of the most challenging times our visual effects industry has faced.

We discuss how the new consolidation will work and how these studios will be working together, while also retaining their own individual identities.

Plus we take a look back at some of the highlights in past years from Phantom FX, Tippett and Milk.

Joining me on the podcast are:

Bejoy Arputharaj, Founder & CEO – Phantom Media Group
Ian Unterreiner, Executive Vice President – Phantom Media Group
Anish Sreedhar, Head of CG – PhantomFX
Marc Morissette, VFX Supervisor – Tippett Studio
Neil Roche, Co-Founder & VFX Supervisor – Milk VFX

Listen in above, and also check out some imagery from recent PhantomFX, Tippett and Milk productions. Also, just added PMG’s Group Showreel here:
