about the jury

Iain Murray began his career in VFX in 2005, after graduating from the prestigious Central Saint Martins with a degree in art and design. He joined Glassworks and quickly worked his way through the ranks to VFX Supervisor. After nearly a decade, he made the move to MPC, spending a further five years honing his craft and building his reputation across award-winning campaigns with global talent. 

Iain joined Electric Theatre Collective in 2018, making a fast impact via a promotion to Head of 2D. His artistry on Cash In Cash Out for Pharrell Williams won the first and only VFX D&AD Black Pencil in the show’s history. Since then, he has continued to earn critical acclaim, contributing to stand out campaigns including Antoine Bardou-Jacquet’s Cosmic Vacuum for Audible, Megaforce’s AirPods for Apple, and most recently, a reimagining of the BFG in Sam Brown’s The Big Christmas for Sainsbury’s. 

Whilst his talent for producing exceptional VFX remains in constant demand, he also thrives off of a devotion to nurturing the next generation of 2D talent.
