FXhome: FXhome expands...again!

Posted by Tarn on Monday 25th Jan 2010 at 01:15PM

It was barely three months ago, back in October 2009, that Angie and Emma joined the FXhome crew. Fast forward to January 2010 and we have another new arrival in the form of Robert Laycock, who started today.

Although this is his first official day we've been working sporadically with Rob for a while now, so it's great to have him fully aboard at last as our newest Software Developer. Arriving with a PhD from the University of East Anglia, Rob will be contributing his considerable technological savvy to ensure that our future products blow you all away.

Please give Rob a warm FXhome welcome!

FXblog: New FXhome HQ layout!

Posted by Tarn on Friday 22nd Jan 2010 at 05:14PM

Once again we've completely reorganised the FXhome offices, resulting in a setup that is far more optimised for the hardcore development plans we have throughout 2010. The web team is now all in one place, as are the software devs, which means we can all be much more productive and creative and push onwards to deliver exciting things unto you as fast as we can.

It's been a busy week, with Axeman's visit as well, so we're all looking forward to settling into the new offices and getting up to speed. We hope everyone has a good weekend - don't forget we've still got our January sale on but only until the 31st!

Event: BAFTA VFX nominations - BAFTA.org

Posted by Tarn on Thursday 21st Jan 2010 at 01:35PM

BAFTA have announced their film awards nominations, including the Special Visual Effects category. It's particularly tough competition this year, not least due to the seemingly all-conquering Avatar. Particularly interesting to see The Hurt Locker in the running, given that the US Academy didn't even include it on their longlist.

Avatar
District 9
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
The Hurt Locker

FXblog: Axeman in the UK

Posted by Tarn on Wednesday 20th Jan 2010 at 11:50AM

This week we've been in the presence of Axel 'Axeman' Wilkinson himself, who has flown over to the UK to visit FXhome HQ (as well as other places in the country). For the last three days he's been acting as an Expert User Consultant, offering feedback and suggestions on both past and future FXhome products.

As you know, we've always let our customers influence the direction of our product development and with some of the new projects we're working on this is even more important to ensure that we're heading in the right direction. The good news is that Axel has approved of our designs and ideas so far, so we're still on track!

We'd like to thank Axel for coming all this way to have us blatter him with information. It helps us be even more confident that the road we're heading down is the right one and an exciting one - for both us and you guys.

FXblog: FXhome and Christmas

Posted by Tarn on Wednesday 23rd Dec 2009 at 10:35AM

We're taking a break for a few days to recharge our batteries and spend time with our families, so we won't be able to reply as quickly as normal to support queries and emails. Please do continue to contact us and we'll get back to you as soon as possible after we return on January 4th.

This does not affect the FXhome.com online store, so you can still order our products during Christmas. Download versions are made available instantly so that you can start using your software straight away.

We hope everybody has a great Christmas and New Year! See you in 2010.
