Double Negative VFX
(often shortened to DNEG) are a British Visual Effects company that first opened in 1998 with 30 people on board. They've since expanded to become the largest European VFX studio with more than 750 people in their staff. On June 25, 2014, they merged with fellow effects studio Prime Focus. That very same year, the studio would help form Locksmith Animation, with their first feature Ron's Gone Wrong releasing in October 2021.
