The Foundry announces that Double Negative has purchased a site license of its compositor, NUKE.

Since opening its doors in 1998 with 30 staff, Double Negative has grown to 800 staff, making it Europe's largest provider of visual effects for Film.

Double Negative is held in high regard globally for its commitment to creative excellence and for its work on projects including Inception, Iron Man II, Quantum of Solace and Prince of Persia. They have also received two VES Awards for their work on The Dark Knight and Sherlock Holmes. Current projects include, John Carter of Mars, Paul, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 & 2 and Captain America: The First Avenger.

Matt Holben, CEO at Double Negative, said: “NUKE has continued to consolidate its position as the dominant software on the market for high-end compositing. The freelance pool of artists with NUKE experience has grown significantly and The Foundry’s on-going commitment to invest in research and development is impressive. These factors have led us to commit to NUKE for the future.

Double Negative and The Foundry have worked together for a long time, and share a common ethos of close collaboration with customers. We look forward to progressing further with NUKE.” Bill Collis, CEO at The Foundry, said,

“We are delighted that Double Negative has embraced NUKE. When we’re out and about in the industry they are often held up as an example of a facility doing fantastic work and we are proud that NUKE is now contributing to that.”

Double Negative also recently invested in MARI, The Foundry’s brand new creative 3D texture painting application.
