Congratulations to our 'Dune: Part Two' team for winning the ‘Special Visual Effects’ BAFTA Award!
Last night at the 2025 British Academy Film Awards ceremony in London, our Dune: Part Two team was honoured with the BAFTA for ‘Special Visual Effects’!
Huge congratulations to DNEG VFX Supervisors Stephen James and Rhys Salcombe, who received the award alongside Paul Lambert (Production VFX Supervisor) and Gerd Nefzer (SFX Supervisor), and to all the incredible talent across our studios who helped to bring Denis Villeneuve’s latest masterpiece to life!
Talking about the win, Namit Malhotra, Founder and CEO of the DNEG Group, said:
"Thank you to BAFTA for recognising the incredible work of our global teams. This win was only made possible by the remarkable vision of director Denis Villeneuve, the trust and support of Legendary and Warner Bros., and the creativity, hard work, and dedication of thousands of artists, producers, technicians, and support staff across the world. A hearty congratulations to our partners and clients, and my thanks and appreciation goes out to every single member of our DNEG global team."
This is the eighth BAFTA win for DNEG, and our third win for a Denis Villeneuve film, following previous BAFTA wins for Dune: Part One (2022) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017). This award follows our Dune team’s earlier wins at the 23rd Annual VES Awards, where the team scooped 4 awards!
Huge congratulations to our crew, and to all the other BAFTA winners and nominees!
