Our quarterly Top Ten VFX & Animation Chart is topped by a breakup of seismic proportions as Time Based Arts, London, served as effects house on Lacoste's "Crocodile Inside" directed by Megaforce of production company Iconoclast for BETC Paris.

Among the other pieces of notable work making the Chart cut were AT&T's "Train," Surfers Against Sewage's "Creature," DFS' "Proud Journey," Samsung's "TV Is Making History Again," and an ambitious short film, In Full Bloom.

In the Chart mix was talent from such VFX and/or animation studios as Aardman Animations, Method Studios, HouseSpecial, MPC and The Mill.

So have a look-see at the outstanding fare this past quarter has to offer.
