Presentation of Ultraman: Rising at British Museum


21 May 2025

About the event

Join us for a special evening at the iconic British Museum as Hayden Jones, VFX Supervisor at ILM, presents a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Ultraman: Rising. Later join us for Q&A, run by Simone Giampaolo, and networking.

A Primetime Emmy Award-winning Visual Effects Supervisor, Hayden Jones has over 25 years of experience in the industry. Hayden most recently served as VFX supervisor on the Netflix animated feature, Ultraman: Rising, which not only won the HPA award for outstanding Visual Effects, but also nominations for both the VES and Annie Awards. He was also VFX Supervisor on Netflix’s Lost Ollie, a live-action/animation hybrid family series directed by Peter Ramsey, for which he also won an Emmy for outstanding VFX.

We’re wrapping up our presentation with an exciting raffle—one lucky attendee will walk away with a RenderMan license!
