CIS Visual Effects Group is expanding its business Down Under with the acquisition of Australian visual effects house Postmodern Sydney. The Sydney studio will continue to operate under the Postmodern banner with the same key personnel and out of the same office. CIS, which has studios in Vancouver and Los Angeles, plans to expand the office later this year.

Postmodern was established in 2001 and has worked on various commercials and feature films including Lionsgate’s Daybreakers and Summit Entertainment’s Knowing. CIS is a division of Toronto-based Deluxe Entertainment Services. The Vancouver studio recently worked on films including Invictus, Angels & Demons and Tropic Thunder.
