Prime Focus Strengthens London Talent Roster

One of the world's largest visual entertainment services groups has announced the appointments of Senior Flame Artist Fasa Oyibo to its UK Commercials division and Dubbing Mixer Wid Cook to its UK Broadcast offering.
Joining Prime Focus is Fasa Oyibo, an experienced Flame Artist moving to the UK Commercials division from Golden Square. During his career, he's worked with top directors including Gus Felgate, Si & Ad and Trudi Bellinger and his credits include commercials for Ford, Lucozade and Abbey and promos for Girls Aloud, Dame Shirley Bassey and Maximo Park. Fasa has also previously worked at Glassworks, Blue and Complete.
The Prime Focus audio department has been boosted with the appointment of experienced Dubbing Mixer Wid Cook. He's been involved in the audio business since 1993 and worked on many high-profile longform projects such as The Day Britain Was Snowed In, How the Earth Was Made, The Volcano That Stopped Britain and The Simpsons 20th Anniversary. Wid also has plenty of shortform and commercials experience including projects for C4, Disney, MTV, National Geographic, Canon, T Mobile and Adidas. He has previously worked at The Mews, DGP, China Blue, CTV and Video London Sound Studios.
UK Managing Director at Prime Focus, Simon Briggs commented on the appointments: "I’m delighted that Fasa and Wid have decided to be part of our continually growing talent pool at Prime Focus. They come with their own individual talents and experience. Fasa has been a Flame Artist of repute for many years now and Wid's attitude and credit list perfectly complement our current audio team. I wish them well with what I hope will be long careers at Prime Focus."
