Follow on Google News | Rodeo FX Wins 3 VES Awards for Game of ThronesOutstanding Effects Simulations in an Episode, Commercial, or Real-Time Project The team at Rodeo FX tackled the destruction of ships in the harbor during the Meereen battle scene. This was a huge undertaking as the ships are being destroyed by flying dragons emitting enormous plumes of fire, shattering the boats and boiling the water underneath. The destruction of the ships and the performance of the fire were done in a deliberate way across the various shots as we see it from different angles during the sequence. Simulated sails, water, fire, and digital doubles actors jumping off the ships completed the scene. The Rodeo FX artists who accepted the VES Award are Thomas Hullin, CG and FX supervisor, Dominik Kirouac and James Dong, FX artists, and Xavier Fourmond, compositor. Outstanding Created Environment in an Episode, Commercial, or Real-Time Project Battle of the Bastards culminates in the attack on Meereen from a host of ships in the harbor. In addition to the fully CG city - including all buildings and props that were modeled individually - Rodeo FX simulated flaming cannonballs catapulted into Meereen's buildings and created CG smoke, particles, water, and fire. The Rodeo FX artists who accepted the VES Award for the Meereen environment are Deak Ferrand, concept artist and matte painter, Dominic Daigle, environment supervisor, François Croteau, matte painter, and Alexandru Banuta, set dressing artist. "The artists work really hard on delivering high-quality visual effects on all projects, and I'm delighted it's being recognized by the industry," said Sébastien Moreau, president of Rodeo FX. "These awards will no doubt drive the team working on season 7 of Game of Thrones to push the limits even more." Game of Thrones' Battle of the Bastards was also awarded Outstanding Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature, for which Rodeo FX's supervisor Matthew Rouleau was nominated along with Joe Bauer, VFX supervisor and Steve Kullback, VFX producer on Game of Thrones, Glenn Melenhorst, VFX supervisor at Iloura, and Sam Conway, special effects supervisor. Congratulations to the whole team at Rodeo FX, to HBO, Joe Bauer, Steve Kullback, and to all the studios and artists who contributed their magic to Season 6 of Game of Thrones. End
