The UK MVAs are approaching
It’s only seven days until the UK MVAs. If you want to view the best in UK music video action this year then get reserving your tickets. You can download a reservation form from www.ukmva.com (go to ‘tickets’ on the left hand navigation) and fill it out for the lovely MVA team. Tickets are £100 + VAT, but before you choke on your latte, that includes the Awards ceremony at the Odeon Leicester Square, hosted by Adam Buxton, the after-show party from 9:15pm-3am at Orchid in Piccadilly and complimentary drinks at both events – so no need to smuggle in your hip flasks.
Psyop get crunched
Psyop’s potential merger with specialist acquisitions firm Fortissimo has been scuppered by the credit crunch, as Fortissiomo shareholders voted ‘No’ to the move. Despite the disappointment at not getting the result they wanted and indeed expected, Psyop CEO Justin Booth-Clibborn was able to take some positives out of the situation, ‘We experienced first hand the 'discipline' of going public, really focusing on our business and further maturing into a company with fantastic talent and the continued ability and resources to produce some of the best creative content in the world.’
In addition to the collapse of the Pysop and Fortissimo deal, the proposed merger of Stink with Psyop and Fortissimo has also had the brakes put on.
Rhino stampedes into the Europe
The visual effects peeps at RhinoFX have set their sights on expanding into the UK and Europe with the help of London based repping firm The Roster. The New Yorkers are known for their award-winning effects, animation and design in commercials, TV, videogame cinematics and feature films and started up in 2000. The Roster is led by former Producer and current Executive Directors Agent, Georgina Poushkine. RhinoFX Managing Director Rick Wagonheim said of the move, ‘We were immediately drawn to Georgina and the entire company’s experience…and are looking forward to doing more work in the overseas markets.’
George is Academic
