Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox has been nominated for two Academy Awards, it was announced today. The film has been selected in the Best Animated Film category, as well as for Best Music (Original Score).

LipSync's VFX Department contributed over 75 VFX shots to the stop-motion extravaganza, which has also been nominated for a BAFTA for Best Animated Film.

The work demanded a seamless melding of traditional stop-motion techniques with digital effects and included greenscreen comps, extensive rig removals and stitching together a variety of motion controlled plates. In addition, a complex 'selective grading process' was undertaken in order to assist with production deadlines; the work involved matching photo backgrounds to the live action sets, in order to allow the production to film the same scenes on different stage concurrently.

The full list of nominees for the 2010 Academy Awards can be found here. The winners will be announced on Sunday March 7th.
