Oblique FX continues to produce visual effects for the television series Being Human, now in its third season. The Montreal facility was recently nominated for a 2013 Canadian Screen Award from the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television for best visual effects in television for its work on the second season of the program. The Canadian Screen Awards celebrate the best in Canadian film and television and this nomination recognizes the work Oblique FX produces for Being Human.

For visual effects supervisor Wayne Brinton, the secret to doing great work is great relationships. That means that the first task in every job is to put a face to the name. Not only does work move more smoothly that way, but for Brinton, even a short period of time together on set can save days of work back at the studio.

Oblique FX completed all of the visual effects for On The Road, Walter Salles’s adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s renowned novel. The facility delivered 110 shots in all, including matte painting and historical clean-ups to help bring to life 1950s America. As a result, theater audiences are transported seamlessly into the world of the Beat Generation and one of its defining stories.

Under the guidance of Morin, the VFX facilities each took on different parts of the project, sharing assets and coordinating deliveries on the film. The result was both a visually stunning film and proof that the Montreal film industry can compete with the best on the world stage.
