Sr. producer Phil Brewster has joined postproduction studio Absolute following six years at Saddington Baynes. His new role will see him produce VFX-heavy projects for his new roost’s varied client base.
With an initial spell at graphic design studio Design Shard, Brewster realized his calling was specifically in visual effects and garnered a position at Saddington Baynes. During this time, he was afforded the luxury of producing CG-heavy outcomes direct-to-client for brands including Estรฉe Lauder and Gaggenau, as well as working alongside agencies such as Havas, McCann and Saatchi & Saatchi.
Brewster commented, “The great thing about VFX is that each project hopes to be something new and innovative. It’s an industry that’s constantly evolving, and I’m looking forward to witnessing that progression from my new Soho home amongst talented artists and great clients.”
Absolute production director Belinda Grew added, “The past eighteen months have been a bit of a ride and we’ve been lucky enough to work with some fantastic creative and directorial talent on some incredibly niche, award-winning VFX briefs. As our client base expands, our in-house talent, too, has continued to grow and I couldn’t think of anyone better to help elevate our production team as we scope out new opportunities.”
