Trade association’s first ever Code of Practice for VFX members comes as Chancellor announces further changes to UK tax relief.
UK Screen Association has launched its first ever Code of Practice for VFX members.
The code, which sets out a series of commitments towards clients, employees and suppliers, has been developed in consultation with UK Screen’s member companies. This follows the extension of the creative sector tax reliefs to include high-end television and animation earlier this year.
Alongside the changes to film tax relief announced today in the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement, the new tax reliefs are expected to attract more culturally-European productions to the UK and the code has been published to help these new clients, and other audiences, understand what they can expect from a UK Screen VFX company.
Split into five sections, the code includes some of the following:

Check out the official trailer for Amma Asante’s Belle starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sam Reid, Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson, Tom Felton, Miranda Richardson and Matthew Goode.
Scheduled for a May 2014 release, the film was shown at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival to positive reviews.
Justin Chang (Variety): “The pleasures of Jane Austen and the horrors of the British slave trade make a surprisingly elegant fit in Amma Asante’s handsome period piece.” John Oursler (Sound on Sight): “Amma Asante’s Belle, a new entrant in the genre, strikes all the right notes.” John DeFore (The Hollywood Reporter): “Moviegoers should respond well when Fox Searchlight brings it to theaters next spring.”

London -- U.K. studio facilities group Pinewood Shepperton, VFX company Framestore and producer Steve Norris have teamed to create Apollo Productions.
Billed as a bespoke production services company for international movie-makers, the trio of names said the aim is to advise on all aspects of movie production in the U.K., from film qualification and the British cultural test, to co-production status and tax credits, as well as managing the production process for clients.
Apollo Productions opens for business this month and the parties believe it will be able to offer a one-stop shop for the normally fragmented provision of production services on offer in the U.K.

Directed by Philip Ridley, and starring Jim Sturgess, and the lovely Clémence Poésy, the film is set to be one of the first British features to benefit from near-simultaneous multi-platform release, coming out at cinemas on Friday 21st May, and being available to buy the following Monday (24th).
We recently spoke with the film’s producer, Richard Raymond, who provided some insight into just how hard it was to get the film off the ground, and just why he and Ridley decided to cast Sturgess.

British singer Dane Bowers was arrested on suspicion of assault following an alleged fight during a night out. The former Another Level star was partying at Mayhem club in Essex, England on Saturday night, April 17 but the evening turned violent when a fight broke out in the early hours, resulting in two 22-year-old men being taken to hospital.
One of the alleged victims, Steve Norris, insists it was Bowers who instigated the altercation and claims the star's pal punched him in the eye, leaving him in need of stitches. Norris tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "Dane's friend came over and got in my friend's face. He got Kalvin in a headlock and Dane came over and got in my face. He pushed me and I pushed him back. We ended up on the floor. Then the other guy punched me in the eye."
