Amy Thomas

Amy Thomas is a VFX and Virtual Production Supervisor and co-founder of Tableau VP, with over 17 years’ experience in the film industry, specialising in digital creatures and visual effects. Her career has taken her through some of the world’s leading VFX studios, including Weta Digital, Industrial Light & Magic, DNEG, Scanline VFX and Eyeline Studios. Her film credits include The Adventures of Tintin, Jurassic World Dominion and Avengers: Endgame.

Drawing on her background in traditional VFX, Amy is now exploring alternative ways of creating visual effects through Tableau VP. Her work combines established filmmaking techniques with emerging technologies, including Unreal Engine, real-time workflows and artist-led assistive AI.

She is particularly interested in how these technologies might change the way effects are conceived, developed and produced, rather than simply making existing processes faster. Central to her approach is the belief that technology should expand creative possibilities while keeping artists and their skills at the heart of the process.

Alongside her production work, Amy teaches at the National Film and Television School and serves as Vice Chair of the Visual Effects Society’s UK Section.
