The Visual Effects Society has composited its first group of 2023 honorees. Oscar-winning VFX supervisor and VES founding member Tim McGovern will receive the 2023 VES Founders Award, and the group has awarded lifetime VES memberships to McGovern, archivist and curator Sandra Joy Aguilar, producer and AMPAS Governor Brooke Breton and VFX artist agent and executive Bob Coleman.
They will be celebrated at a special event in October, VES said. That ceremony’s date and additional honorees are TBA. “Our VES honorees represent a group of exceptional artists, innovators and professionals who have had a profound impact on the field of visual effects, our industry and the Society,” VES Board Chair Lisa Cooke said. “We are proud to recognize those who helped shape our shared legacy and continue to inspire future generations of VFX practitioners.” Here are bios of the honorees, provided by the Visual Effects Society: Tim McGovern has been named the 2023 Founders Award recipient for his sustained contributions to the art, science or business of visual effects and meritorious service to the Society.
An acclaimed Visual Effects Supervisor and Creative Director, McGovern began his career at the inception of digital/computer visual effects, in the otherwise analog VFX industry, doing award-winning, groundbreaking work in VFX and Computer Animation.
