Rodeo FX is an award-winning international visual effects company specializing in projects in the film, television and advertising industry.[1] The company currently has studios in Montreal, Los Angeles and Quebec City.

History

Rodeo FX was founded in 2006 in Montreal, Canada by Sébastien Moreau and started producing visual effects for feature films in 2007. In 2013, the company started producing visual effects for television for the first time, creating over 150 visually altered shots for the fourth season of the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones.[2] In early 2014, it expanded outside of Montreal for the first time, opening an office in Quebec City, which now employs 35 animators and VFX-artists.[3] In December 2014, following its acquisition of the VFX company Hatch FX, Rodeo FX opened an office in Los Angeles. According to Jordan Soles, Rodeo's vice president of technology and development, the step was taken to bring the company closer to the studios, directors and the film development process itself.[4]

The studio’s VFX work has been rewarded on many occasions, including a VES Award for Outstanding Supporting Visual Effects for the film Birdman, as well as an Emmy Award for its participation in the creation of the visual effects for the 4th season of the TV series Game of Thrones.[5]
