Oscar Nomination-Proud Dad

Tim Crosbie of Rising Sun Pictures and his team based in Adelaide has been nominated for a special effects Academy Award.
Here is the link to an interview with Tim on the ABC.
My son Daniel is the first person you see when they cut to the workers. It's his left hand writing.
Just a proud dad in awe of what one of his son's has achieved as I am with the other 2.

And well done all the visual effects' artist families who have to sacrifice family time when their partners work on these films.

I am very proud of my son and his workmates.
Probably few have any idea other than families of these artists how hard they work to first of all get the skills they need and then to execute them.
