Double Negative is a British full-service visual effects/computer animation company located in Fitzrovia, London. The company was set up in 1998 with a team of 30 staff and has since grown to over 1,000 staff, making it Europe's largest provider of visual effects for film. In 2009, Double Negative opened its Singapore office,[1][2] and closed it in March 2016.[3]

Double Negative has received several Visual Effects Society awards for films such as Inception and Sherlock Holmes, BAFTA awards for Inception, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 and Interstellar, and Academy Awards for Inception, Interstellar, and Ex Machina.

Double Negative 'merged' with Prime Focus/Prime Focus World (the creative services division of the Indian company) in 2014, a move which allowed Prime Focus to buy its way into the top tier of visual effects companies. It announced the upcoming opening of a Mumbai branch following merger.[4]
