Phosphene

Phosphene NY based VFX house specializing in feature films and long-form series.

Phosphene is an independent design and visual effects house led by founders/co-owners John Bair and Vivian Connolly. Bair and Connolly, who have collaborated on projects since 2005, both love the process of delving into a project during pre-production and helping the director bring his/her vision to life. In 2010, Bair and Connolly launched Phosphene and immediately hit the ground running with vis

ual effects for Barry Levinson’s You Don’t Know Jack, Phillip Noyce’s Salt, George Nolfi’s The Adjustment Bureau, Jodie Foster’s The Beaver and Brad Anderson’s Vanishing on 7th Street. Phosphene went on to design and execute elaborate CG environments for Brett Ratner’s action-comedy Tower Heist, Stephen Daldry’s two-time Academy Award nominated Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and Jason Reitman’s Young Adult. In 2012, Phosphene was thrilled to be a VFX partner on The Bourne Legacy, 2013 Golden Globe nominee Hope Springs, Girl Most Likely, and Stephen Frears’ Muhammad Ali’s Greatest Fight before teaming up with producer Kevin Misher and director Sebastián Cordero to create over three hundred shots for the upcoming science fiction thriller Europa Report. Phosphene just received a Visual Effects Society Award for their work on Boardwalk Empire. And in addition to their Emmy-nominated work for Todd Haynes’ HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce, Phosphene has been the VFX partner on all four seasons of Treme, NBC’s 30 Rock, ABC’s Pan Am, CBS’ Blue Bloods and most recently The Americans for FX.
