History
Future Associate was founded in 2018 by visual effects supervisor Lindsay Adams, who had previously worked at major international VFX studios including Industrial Light & Magic, Weta Digital, MPC, Animal Logic, and Rising Sun Pictures.[1] Adams's credits prior to founding Future Associate include Mad Max: Fury Road, The Avengers, Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and Happy Feet.[1]
The studio was established after Adams was offered the opportunity to work on the pilot for the HBO series Watchmen, work his then-employer declined to take on. Adams left his position to pursue the project independently, returning to Sydney to assemble a crew for the production.[2] The studio quickly grew to 20 staff members, prompting a move to a larger facility in Marrickville.[2]
Discussing the early growth of the studio, Adams noted the closure of Method Studios Sydney — which laid off approximately 200 staff — as a factor that increased the local talent pool available to the new company.[2]
