Rodeo FX is a premium creative and visual effects firm that focuses on delivering services in visual effects, advertising, animation, and immersive experiences. Its studios are located across Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto, Vancouver, Paris, and Los Angeles.

History

Established in 2006 in Montreal by Sébastien Moreau, Rodeo FX commenced its work on visual effects for feature films in 2007. The company broadened its scope to television in 2013, contributing more than 150 VFX shots for HBO's fourth season of Game of Thrones. In 2014, Rodeo FX inaugurated its first branch outside Montreal in Quebec City, employing 35 professionals specializing in animation and visual effects. That same year, the firm acquired Hatch FX and launched a Los Angeles office to enhance collaborations with studios and filmmakers.

In November 2017, the company revealed plans for a European base in Munich, Germany, which was eventually moved to Paris by June 2023. On March 27, 2025, Rodeo FX expanded further by acquiring Mikros Animation following the bankruptcy of Technicolor Group.

The company has received notable accolades within the industry, including an Academy Award and BAFTA for The Golden Compass, several Visual Effects Society Awards recognizing achievements in both film and television—particularly for Game of Thrones—three Emmy Awards for Outstanding Special Effects on that series, as well as three Hollywood Professional Association Awards.
