Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica all share a common element. They're all part of the Sci Fi channel's Friday night line-up of new weekly episodes. They have another element in common though. One company has contributed visual effects shots to all four series with the aid of LightWave 3D, Atmosphere Visual Effects. Based in Vancouver, an area that is coming into its own in the visual effects industry, this relatively small new company of only about 15 people is already making waves in the business. In addition to the four ongoing weekly series listed above, they have also contributed shots to Dead Like Me and Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital, for which they earned an Emmy nomination. We spent some time talking to Jeremy Hoey, co-founder of Atmosphere VFX, about some of the visual effects work they have been able to bring to the screen.
For those looking for a job in the industry, Atmosphere VFX is hiring.
