Luego arreglaron eso al ver que cuando congelaban la escena, no se veia tan bien. Por su trabajo en Losr, en el episodio "[[|]]", Blank ganó en el 2005, el VES (Visual Effects Society), junto con sus colegas Mitch Suskin, Benoit Girard, y Jerome Morin. Por su trabajo en el episodio "[[|]]", Blank también ganó el mismo premio en 2006, junto con sus colegas John Teska, Ferm Mitchell, y Eric Chauvin.

- É revelado em Bem-vindo a Oahu que ele e J.J. Abrams discordaram sobre o uso de um urso polar falso, sendo filmado para a simulação de um ataque. No fim, J.J. desistiu dessa idéia ao perceber que ficou muito falso quando se paralizava a cena e concordou em usar computação gráfica, que ele, mais tarde, admitiu ter ficado bem melhor.
- Born in Los Angeles, California, Blank worked as a digital artist on the fantasy adventure Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997, with visual effects staff Leif Einarsson, Mike Goslin, Paul Hill, Brian Hanable, Evan Jacobs, Kevin Kutchaver, David Lebovitz, Ralph Maiers, Wendy Mashburn, Jeff Matakovich, W. Regan McGee, Janet Quen, Mark Spatny, Talmage Watson, Bob Wiatr, Chris Y. Yang, Chris DeAngelis, and Mark Edwards) and the comic adaptation Blade (1998), and as visual effects supervisor on the television movie Jeff of the Universe (1999).
- Kevin Blank est l'un des superviseurs des effets visuels de LOST. On peut le voir dans le bonus Welcome to Oahu du DVD de la saison 1. Il y est montré portant des « jambières d'ours » et courant dans des herbes hautes en mimant la course d'un ours polaire, pour la scène d'attaque de l'épisode Le Réveil (2/2).

- Kevin Blank est l'un des superviseurs des effets visuels de LOST. On peut le voir dans le bonus Welcome to Oahu du DVD de la saison 1. Il y est montré portant des « jambières d'ours » et courant dans des herbes hautes en mimant la course d'un ours polaire, pour la scène d'attaque de l'épisode Le Réveil (2/2). Encore dans Welcome to Oahu il est révélé que J.J. Abrams et lui étaient en désaccord sur le fait d'utiliser un ours polaire en peluche. J.J. Abrams a finalement donné son accord pour l'utilisation d'un ours en peluche mais a demandé que la scène où l'ours bondit soit refaite numériquement. Pour son travail dans LOST sur l'épisode Le Réveil (2/2) Kevin Blank a reçu un VES Award dans la catégorie Meilleur effets visuel pour une série avec ses collègues Mitch Suskin, Benoit Girard et Jerome Morin. Pour son travail sur l'épisode Vivre ensemble..., il a reçu la même récompense en 2006 avec ses collègues John Teska, Mitchell Ferm et Eric Chauvin.
