PARIS — Visual effect studio Rodeo FX (rodeofx.com) is entering a new chapter in Europe with the recent opening of its unified Paris studio in the 10th arrondissement. The company’s film & episodic division and advertising & experiences division, along with Mikros Animation, are now all under one roof. The move comes two years after Rodeo FX established a presence in Paris.
Rodeo FX has studios in Montreal, Québec City, Toronto and Los Angeles, in addition to the Paris location, which spans more than 40,000 square-feet on Rue Dieu. The studio has contributed VFX to numerous high-profile projects, including Stranger Things, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Dune. Mikros Animation is recognized for its work on PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.
“We’re incredibly proud to see our Paris office grow at such a remarkable pace,” says Sebastien Moreau, president & CEO of Rodeo FX. “This expansion is a testament to the exceptional work delivered by our local teams and reinforces our decision to bolster Rodeo FX’s European presence. It’s a bold step forward for Rodeo FX and for the creative community in Paris.”
Franck Lambertz is VFX supervisor and head of the Paris studio, which has worked on Luc Besson’s Dracula and Alexandre Astier’s Kaamelott. The film & episodic division is currently collaborating on projects for Netflix and Pathé, while the advertising & experiences team has delivered luxury campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel and Hermès.
