VES Awards Gala 2026

Last night at the VES Awards in Los Angeles we were incredibly proud ✨

While ILP is honoured to be nominated in two of the main episodic VFX categories, one of the most inspiring moments of the evening came from the future of our industry. Two of the students behind the winning Student Project have recently started their journey with us at Important Looking Pirates.

Seeing new talent step onto the global stage like this reminds us why we care so deeply about mentorship, curiosity, and creating an environment where young artists can grow fast and dream big.

Congratulations to Martin and Cassandre the future of VFX is in very good hands, and we’re excited to be a part of their journey✨ 🏴‍☠️
