Biography

Jake Morrison is a British visual effects supervisor. He started his career working at a 35 mm slide bureau by day while experimenting at night with custom video mixers. He modified Atari computers to perform visual projections alongside live music. As the bureau transitioned to digital tools such as Quantel Paintboxes, 3D Studio and Alias PowerAnimator, he moved into freelance commercial work in Soho and steadily progressed into feature film compositing and CG supervision. He moved into high-profile film work as lead compositor on Peter Jackson’s Oscar-winning The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) and as digital effects supervisor on Zack Snyder’s 300 (2006), followed by roles on Speed Racer (2008), The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003), Spider-Man (2002), Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle (2003), Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001), Iron Man 2 (2010), The Other Guys (2010), and Tooth Fairy (2010). His long collaboration with Marvel Studios began with second-unit visual effects supervision on Joss Whedon’s The Avengers (2012), after which he served as additional VFX supervisor on Thor (2011) and as production VFX supervisor on Thor: The Dark World (2013). His role as production visual effects supervisor on Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man (2015) earned him a BAFTA nomination for Best Special Visual Effects. As overall VFX supervisor for Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok (2017), he oversaw nearly 2,800 visual effects shots created by eighteen vendors worldwide, which resulted in a Critics’ Choice Award nomination in 2018 for Best Visual Effects. He most recently acted as both second-unit director and overall VFX supervisor on Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), supervising over 2,200 shots across about 25 vendors, and later signed a creative partnership with DNEG to collaborate on future major VFX projects.
