There are more films than ever before with amazing visual effects work, but a new study titled Invisible in Visual Effects finds that women’s credits in that area have remained flat over the past few years., the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative and Women in Animation looked at 400 top-grossing films from 2016 to 2019, finding that women received 21.6% of VFX credits — a ratio of 3.6 men to every one woman working in VFX. The percentage varied little over the period, with 20.
The study proposes several ways to increase women’s participation in visual effects, including paying higher salaries to VFX producers, where women often get their start, and making that position eligible for Motion Picture Academy membership and awards. Women holding leadership roles in the field was also assessed, with women holding 16.2% of all senior positions over the four year period. Women comprised only 2.9% of VFX supervisors but 46.7% of VFX producers. Fewer than one-quarter of VFX editors were women, and among other leadership roles, fewer than 10% were held by women: animation supervisors , lighting supervisors , compositing supervisors and CG/3D supervisors .Women of color were represented infrequently across the field overall.
When it comes to the leadership of 60 top VFX companies, slightly more than one-quarter of executives at these companies were women, and 5.5% were women of color.
