VFX Society Honors: ‘Avatar’ Vet Celebrates ‘Thrill of Technically and Artistically Problem-Solving’


'Avatar' Vet Brooke Breton accepted the VES Founders Award during the 2024 VES Honors ceremony

Producer and VFX industry leader Brooke Breton—whose work has included “Avatar,” “Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow,” and a trio of “Star Trek” movies, reflected on teamwork and the “thrill of technically and artistically problem-solving” as she accepted the Visual Effects Society ’s Founders Award. During the annual VES Honors ceremony, held over the weekend at the Skirball Cultural Center, Breton (who also helped launch Digital Domain, where she served as senior vice president of production) remembered when as a filmmaker she started to gravitate toward VFX. “It was the communal energy to push the boundaries beyond what we knew, to what we could learn together along the way,” she added, thanking collaborators for their trust, including Garry Marshall, Leonard Nimoy, James Cameron, Stan Winston and Peter Weir.
