VFX Industry Veteran Joseph Bell Releases the Visual Effects World Atlas
Oct. 07, 2024
Long frustrated by the shortage of clear, objective information about the VFX industry, Joseph Bell has created the Visual Effects World Atlas, a comprehensive overview of the artists who work in a global industry — one vital to the creative endeavors of film studios, streamers, and branded content creators.
The Visual Effects World Atlas is available for free in the hope that this project will help foster a sense of global community among the VFX artists working around the world. Download the VFX World Atlas here or at vfxatlas.com.

Bell shared:
“Technology tends to grab a lot of headlines. The VFX business is fundamentally still driven by human talent. I wanted to chart the people of the visual effects industry, the skillsets they possess, and where in the world they’re located.”
