From the release:<\/p>\n

RASCAL<\/a> creative studio has announced the hiring of Andy Steele as its new Head of CG and Mireille Antoine as Head of Production. <\/p>\n

The pair join from The Mill, where Andy was CG \/ VFX supervisor and creative director, and Mireille was Head of Production. There, they had the opportunity to work on several major projects, collaborating closely with director duo DOM&NIC on M&S Food\u2019s Christmas campaigns and helping to craft the now popular Fairy and Percy mascots. Andy also won a Visual Effects Society award alongside his peers for John Lewis\u2019 Christmas film, \u2018The Boy and the Piano\u2019 starring Elton John, while Mireille counts among her highlights the development of full CG environments and humans in the cinematic game trailer for \u2018The Last of Us Part II\u2019, and Xbox\u2019s \u2018Power Your Dreams\u2019 campaign directed by Ian Pons Jewel.<\/p>\n

Prior, Andy\u2019s career history had taken him across both China and the UK, having built Smoke & Mirrors Shanghai\u2019s 3D department. While there, he was part of the core team that met with SFG Technicolor, a joint Chinese and European venture, with whom they formed a studio that caught the attention of MPC, eventually coming under its banner as MPC Shanghai.<\/p>\n

Mireille, meanwhile, worked across several roles, including QC operator, VT operator, operations, and VFX producer at companies like The Machine Room and The Hive Animation within the VTR Group, and Rushes.<\/p>\n

Gareth Brannan, MD says \u2018We\u2019re over the moon to welcome Andy and Mireille to team RASCAL. Andy\u2019s work is amazing, he marries a deep technical knowledge with creative expertise and Mireille combines a terrific warmth with a wealth of production and leadership experience. As RASCAL continues to grow and evolve we are properly looking forward to seeing where we can go together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andy adds, \u201cWhen I met Gareth [Brannan, MD] and Paul [Mosley, Head of Studio] in person I felt an instant sense of energy, their collective vision for the future had instant appeal. Rascal is built on a very strong foundation of talent and relationships, there is a real buzz in the studio throughout and everyone is pulling in the same direction. When I was formally offered the role, it was a very easy decision. I\u2019m going to have a very busy year settling in and helping the team build the framework for the future. It\u2019s exciting times at Rascal, watch this space.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mireille adds, \u201cTotally stoked to have joined Rascal and become a part of such a high-end independent studio. I\u2019ve admired Rascal\u2019s work for some time and am thrilled to be working alongside such a talented team where creativity is always at the top of the agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n
