Rising Sun Pictures closed its new Sydney office after the expected influx of big offshore productions failed to materialise.Several major productions, including Warner Bros’ big budget

Green Lantern, pulled out of Sydney last year as the value of the Australian dollar climbed above 90 US cents. Martin Campbell Green Director of Lantern stated the comic book adventure is now filming in Louisiana in March.

Rising Sun Pictures is working on the final two Harry Potter films and Chinese-Australian production “The Last Dragon”, which recently finished filming.

Rising Sun is the only Australian feature film vfx specialist, consistently delivering inspiring effects and animation for films around the world.
