Montreal-based VFX studio Rodeo FX joined the prestigious team of Game of Thrones and created more than 150 visual effects shots for the fourth season of this acclaimed TV series. Broadcasted by HBO, the 10-episode series reached its peak with a breathtaking finale that aired on June 15, 2014. Week after week, Game of Thrones reaches more than 7 million viewers in United States only, a record audience.
In addition to creating the city of Meereen, the largest and greatest of the three great city-states of Slaver’s Bay, Rodeo FX was responsible for generating in CG the massive army that attacks it; a memorable and striking scene. The Montreal-based company also designed a series of spectacular matte paintings, as well as creating a zombie-horse, altering physically some of the characters, simulating atmospheric effects, contributing to numerous wolves’ sequences, etc.
