- The Mill (post-production)
The Mill is a post-production and visual effects company launched in 1990 with offices in London, New York and Los Angeles.
The Mill's Film special effects subsidiary, Mill Film, won an Oscar for its work on the film "Gladiator". The Mill was the first UK-based post-production company to set up offices in New York. The Mill is respected for high-end visual effects and is usually well represented at the numerous Advertising and Visual Effects awards ceremonies world-wide each year. The company no longer does visual effects work for feature films but instead concentrates efforts primarily on the core business of television commercials and music videos. Some of the major advertising campaigns include Sony, Nike, Levis, Honda and Adidas. It also produces the visual effects for the 2005 revival of the BBC science fiction drama series "Doctor Who" and its spin-offs, "Torchwood" and "The Sarah Jane Adventures".
The Mill also owns online advertising approval, archiving and distribution site, BEAM.TV
According to its annual report, in 2005 The Mill had revenue of £32.5m and operating profit of £5.2m.
In February 2007 The Mill was acquired by Private equity firm The Carlyle Group, in a deal rumoured to be worth £60 million. [cite web
