and Where to Find Them is a
delightful prequel in the Harry
Potter film series.

hard-working artists developed
the look of the film’s titular fantastic beasts, building many
proprietary effects pipeline solutions in the process. “Building
these creatures allowed us to
define a new set of tools and a
unique creature FX workflow,”
explains Sébastien Moreau,
president of Rodeo FX. “This
project allowed us to expand
our creature capability and
we’re thrilled to be able to offer
that on future projects.”
