One of Us, the Emmy- and BAFTA-winning visual effects studio has appointed Adrian De Wet as Visual Effects Supervisor and Creative Director in Los Angeles.
With over three decades of experience, Adrian De Wet brings a notable portfolio of visual effects supervision on well-regarded films such as The Hunger Games franchise, The Meg, Hellboy II, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and The Matrix Reloaded. A DGA Director and member of AMPAS, BAFTA, and the Visual Effects Society, Adrian’s experience bridges creative direction, on-set supervision, and post production excellence.
Adrian’s appointment is particularly meaningful given his long-standing relationship with One of Us founders Rachael, Dominic, and Tom. The group originally met while working together at CFC, which was acquired by Framestore in 1997, marking the beginning of Framestore’s film division. Together they have worked on several iconic projects over the years, even as far back as the iconic Guinness “Surfer” commercial and various titles within the Harry Potter franchise.
Adrian’s leadership and deep industry connections will be invaluable in building out a Los Angeles based team as One of Us continues to expand its global presence.
“Since the beginning, One of Us has been a key creative partner and collaborator to filmmakers and has built a reputation for excellence.
“Establishing a presence in Los Angeles is a strategic step in becoming a truly global creative force, giving us greater ability to expand our off ering to fi lmmakers and studios from the visual development phase right through post-production.”
