4th aacta awards best visual effects or animation

The purpose of this Award is to recognise outstanding visual effects and animation work performed in Australia across feature film, television and documentary, regardless of the origin of the production.

• 
  Any Australian-produced visual effects or animation in a feature film, television or documentary production that meets the eligibility requirements below and was released or broadcast in Australia from November 7 2013 to December 31 2014 is eligible.
  
• 
  The visual effects or animation work must have been 100% created in Australia, with the exception of any matchmoving or rotoscoping services that may have been outsourced internationally.
