Rodeo FX: Monsters, Heroes and Exploding Rats - Crafting the Impossibly Real

From the sinister depths of Derrie, Maine, to the frozen woods of Kaer Morhen and the dark parallel reality of the Upside Down, discover how some of the most iconic monsters, heroes and other creatures from big and small screens were made. From facial tics to how they slither, from how they fight to how they kill, discover how performance is a key aspect of visual effects, and how different artists breathe life into these characters.

Yvon Jardel, Head of Animation at the international visual effects studio Rodeo FX, is joined by Josée Chapdelaine, Head of Creature FX and Vincent Desjardins, Rigging Supervisor, in this journey through the intricate work behind Pennywise’s final transformation in IT: Part Two, Geralt’s fight against the Eskel Leshy in The Witcher season 2, the monsters of Stranger Things and much more.
