Milk VFX is a British independent visual effects studio. It was founded in London in 2013[1] and is known for creating complex and innovative sequences for high-end television and feature films.
The company received an Academy Award for Sara Bennett’s work on Ex Machina,[2] three BAFTA Television Craft Awards[3] for Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Episode: The Day of The Doctor, Doctor Who Series 8 Episode 1: Deep Breath and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell Episode 5: Arabella. In addition, Milk has won a Creative Arts Emmy Awards for Sherlock Special Episode: The Abominable Bride.
Headquartered in Clerkenwell, London, Milk has bolstered its offering by expanding into Bordeaux,[4] Dublin[5] and Barcelona[6] and acquired independent, BAFTA award-winning VFX studio Lola Post Production. Milk’s parent company Bizet Media has acquired Dublin-based High Wire[7] post-production to provide broader VFX and production solutions.
History
Milk was founded by a small group of talented VFX artists and producers in 2013[8] and moved into a new office in Clerkenwell[9] at the start of 2022.
In October 2022 Milk acquired BAFTA Award winning VFX Studio Lola Post Production.[10]
