Congratulations to Oliver James, my old assistant for winning an Oscar. After studying Physics & Maths at Oxford, Ollie worked for me in my Shoreditch Studio for 3 years, a lovely, quiet boy.
He was the creator of the black hole in Interstellar and was really quietly proud of this huge achievement.
He now is the Chief Scientist at DNEG (Double Negative) working on Hollywood blockbusters like Interstellar, several James Bond’s, Openheimer, Batman Begins, Chicken Run etc etc. https://cherwell.org/2024/02/25/visual-effects-oliver-james/
It is so good seeing a pure talent developing into one of the most influential men in Hollywood, a true special effect genius and scientist.
