Nexus Sign Acclaimed Collective

Nexus have announced the signing of an acclaimed international directing and interactive collective for UK representation.
Minivegas - a hotly watched talent, combine the directing talent and programming know-how of Luc Schurgers and Dan Lewis, offering a focus on film and cross-platform projects with a track record of innovation in this area.
Directing both animation and live action, Luc and Dan constantly push creative boundaries, using their broad spectrum of artistic and technical expertise to create work that conveys ideas through many different types of media and technology. Their pioneering work, such as their stunning voice-responsive idents for S4C, has earned them worldwide accolades, with wins at the Cannes Lions, the CADs and the D&AD. Alongside their film and interactive work Minivegas also run Vegas Gallery.
With a strong reel in traditional commercial work for major brands (including Levis, GQ, Ray-Ban and Nissan) Minivegas recently directed a CG and live-action campaign for the release of the new Star Wars game. They also created the incredible Visualizer project - a virtual gallery that creates art in real time in response to music and gestures.
Christopher O'Reilly of Nexus commented: "Luc and Dan are a rare team bringing strong design and narrative skills together with creative programming savvy. We share the same vision of where we can break new ground in digital moving image across a range of platforms and we're delighted to welcome them to the studio."
Luc and Dan of Minivegas concluded: "In a rapidly changing commercial environment, the move to a future-focused company like Nexus was a natural and logical step for us. At Nexus, technology is right up there with narrative and design, like some kind of strategic holy trinity, and it's great to be working with a production company with their amazing vision and understanding, where we can keep pushing ahead creatively."
