Fuel VFX has announced the front line of producers who will lead the combined Fuel and Animal Logic advertising post-production team: Samantha Daley, Sarah Hiddlestone and Alastair Stephen.
It follows Animal Logic's acquisition of Fuel VFX in early-October, which saved the VFX house after it hit cash flow troubles. Animal Logic then combined its short-form and advertising operations with Fuel VFX, which are now being run from Fuel's Newtown offices.
Animal Logic said Daley and Hiddlestone will provide continuity of service for the clients of Fuel and Animal Logic, while new team member Stephen joins the team with more than 20 years of industry experience. He began his career working with Sydney agencies Gp Bates, Ddb and Attik, transitioning to the VFX industry to lead facilities Engine, Digital Pictures and Iloura as executive producer. He most recently worked on ABC1 and ABC2 rebrands.

Grief-stricken directors and actors express dismay at death of British film-maker who leaped from bridge
A shaken and grief-stricken Hollywood has saluted Tony Scott as a great director as speculation swirls over why he leapt from a bridge to his death in Los Angeles bay.
An autopsy was due to be carried out on Monday afternoon a day after police divers recovered the British film-maker's body from water beneath the Vincent Thomas suspension bridge spanning the harbour. There was no immediate official word about the results of the autopsy.
Officials and relatives were studying suicide notes reportedly left in his office and the black Toyota Prius he parked on the bridge at around 12.30pm local time before jumping – "without hesitation", according to witnesses – to his death 185ft below.
He hit the water close to tourists taking a boat cruise. "He landed right next to our tour boat, and many of us saw the whole thing,...

"The most frightening thing I do in my life is getting up and shooting movies," said the director Tony Scott in 2009. "Every morning I'm bolt upright on one hour or two hours' sleep, before the alarm clock goes off. That's a good thing. That fear motivates me, and I enjoy that fear. I'm perverse in that way." Scott's take on film-making as an adrenalised, intimidating experience in itself was reflected in the tone and pace of his box-office hits, which included Top Gun (1986), Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) and Days of Thunder (1990).
A lover of fast cars and motorbikes on the screen and off, and a lifelong rock climber, Scott was adept at injecting thrills into his slick films. This approach rarely brought him critical acclaim and his movies were sometimes unfavourably compared with the more ambitious, philosophical works...
