VFXY (vfxy.com) is an exciting new resource on the internet: a free, simple-to-use,
adjudicated directory of websites devoted to the design and production of visual
effects used in film, television, video games, web design, graphic design, or other
media. A special feature of VFXY is its ability to store each user’s favorite sites as
part of the website log-in, enabling them to be accessed from any computer,
anywhere, anytime.
VFXY was created by a small team of professionals working in the visual effects
industry who sought an easy way to keep track of their favorite visual effects websites
no matter where they were working. We actually developed vfxy.com for ourselves,
but then realized that others would appreciate the opportunity to easily find potential
clients or collaborators, or simply gain inspiration from the work of other visual
effects practitioners from around the world.
Welcome to the VFXY community! We invite designers and producers of visual
effects to submit their websites for consideration by clicking on the ‘Submit Link’
button on the site. Please let us know if you have any suggestions on how we could
improve vfxy.com
