Blade Runner 2049

Thirty years after the events of 'Blade Runner' (1982), a new Blade Runner, L.A.P.D. Officer "K" (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos. K's discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former L.A.P.D. Blade Runner, who has been missing for thirty years.

DNEG VFX Supervisor Paul Lambert, along with Overall VFX Supervisor John Nelson, Gerd Nefzer and Richard R. Hoover, were honoured with both an Academy Award® and a BAFTA for the visual effects of 'Blade Runner 2049'.

DNEG was the lead VFX house on 'Blade Runner 2049' and our Vancouver team also picked up the Visual Effects Society award for ‘Outstanding Created Environment in a Photoreal Feature’. Chris McLaughlin (CG Supervisor), Rhys Salcombe (Build Supervisor), Francesco Dell’Anna (Lead Compositor) and Seungjin Woo (Concept Artist) picked up the honour for their environment work in creating the future Los Angeles of 2049.
