UK-based VFX & animation house, Flipbook Studio, has announced the addition of David Cordon as head of TV & film. The new position marks the expansion of the studio’s well-established TV animation and VFX business built up over the past 10 years. The studio has provided a range of VFX and animation work for the BBC, Netflix, ZDF, Banjay, ITV Studios, Channel 4 features and others. Its VFX portfolio includes TV dramas such as ITV’s Cilla, The Worst Witch, Idris Elba No Limits, and ITV Studio’s Scott and Bailey.
Cordon’s career in VFX includes positions in production and management at major visual effects studios including MPC, DNEG, Framestore, and Cinesite.

Both Andrew and Ben (co-founders) have amazing ambition – it’s a great opportunity for me.”
