== 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 [[Game of Thrones (season 4)|fourth season]] of the [[HBO]] fantasy series ''[[Game of Thrones]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Game of Thrones: Season 4|url=http://www.rodeofx.com/all-films/got|publisher=Rodeo FX|access-date=21 April 2015}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Frei|first1=Vincent|title=Rodeo FX opens in Quebec City|date=26 April 2014 |url=http://www.artofvfx.com/?p=7709|publisher=Art of VFX|access-date=21 April 2015}}</ref> In December 2014, following its acquisition of the VFX company Hatch FX, Rodeo FX opened an office in [[Los Angeles]].
