The 6th Annual VES Awards were held on Feb. 10, 2008 at the Kodak Theatre Grand Ballroom in Hollywood by the Visual Effects Society. Dennis Muren presented Steven Spielberg with the VES Lifetime Achievement Award. This award recognizes the contribution that his vast body of work, as both a director and producer, has made to the art and science of visual effects. Nominees were chosen Saturday, January 5, 2008 by panels of VES members who viewed submissions at the FotoKem screening facilities in Burbank. (fxguide.com)
On the compositing front, Transformers won for Outstanding Compositing in a Motion Picture with its desert highway sequence. (well deserved) Compositing in a Broadcast Program or Commercial went to NIKE's 'Leave Nothing' spot. It's pretty slick.
