What has Business SA got to do with the Oscars?

Tim Crosbie from Adelaide’s Rising Sun Pictures was one of four nominees for an Academy Award this week for the visual effects in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
While not winning an Oscar, his nomination is further confirmation of the world class work being produced by Rising Sun Pictures – a Business SA member.
With a highly mobile and international talent pool in the visual effects industry, Business SA assisted Rising Sun Pictures on a number of occasions with its migration and visa services to secure the visas required to bring this talent to Adelaide.
Crosbie said X-Men: Days of Future Past was “not the biggest job I’ve ever worked on, but it was the most technically difficult”. It took Crosbie and a large team seven months to produce the effects that occur in the Quicksilver Pentagon’s kitchen scene.
