Double Negative Visual Effects

Inception is opening July 16, 2010 and one of the reasons I want to see it is because the special effects look amazing.  This company called Double Negative was involved in creating the effects for Inception and they also worked on the effects for such movies as Iron Man 2, Angels & Demons, Cloverfield, and Sherlock Holmes.

I just watched Sherlock Holmes and I thought the effects were amazing (remember that explosion? Wow!), and the visuals in the previews for Inception look pretty incredible, too.  Double Negative also worked on The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, which also starts this week.

They create some pretty incredible stuff.  Here is Double Negative’s full project list and here’s a showreel of some of Double Negative’s best work. Pretty cool stuff.
