OSCAR WORTHY WORK from a Montreal Company
Employees
of a Montreal company are celebrating this week, after their work on a
film paid off at the 90th Academy Awards March 4th.
Last
week, Paul Larson took you
inside the headquarters of Rodeo FX, the Montreal-based visual effects
company. For the first time in its eleven-year history, Rodeo FX
worked on three of the films nominated for Best Visual Effects: "Star
Wars: The Last Jedi,"
"Kong: Skull Island," and "Blade Runner 2049." Much to the delight of
Rodeo FX president Sébastien Moreau and his team, one of these films won the Academy Award for Visual Effects.

As
the video shows, Visual Effects Supervisor John Nelson thanked Rodeo
Art Director Deak Ferrand, and the entire Rodeo FX team. Visual
Effects Supervisor Richard Hoover also gave a nod to Rodeo FX and other
Montreal companies who worked on the film.
Rodeo
FX has contributed its talents to several Oscar-winning films. This
marks the second time the company has worked on a film that won the
Academy Award specifically for Best Visual Effects.
