History
Effects Associates was established in 1972 by a group of four British special effects supervisors, including Martin Gutteridge. Gutteridge bought out his partners by 1981 and in 1999 the company was purchased by Cinesite (Europe) Ltd. Together, the companies offer a full visual effects service.
Awards and nominations that Effects Associates and its affiliated supervisors have received include Emmy Award nominations for Hornblower series 2, Cleopatra, Ironclads and War and Remembrance; an Oscar for Alien (Special Effects Supervisor Nick Allder); Oscar and BAFTA nominations for Little Shop of Horrors; and a BAFTA award for The Fifth Element.
