Rodeo FX has inaugurated a new Paris studio bringing all its French divisions, including 2025 acquisition Mikros Animation, under one roof.
The Montreal-based VFX firm, which has worked on productions such as Games of Thrones, Stranger Things, The Rings of Power, John Wick: Chapter 4 and Dune, heralds the opening of the premises as a new chapter in its French activities.
The move comes some two years after the Canadian studio established a Paris outpost, encouraged by France’s move to up its international post-production game with a VFX incentive offering a 10% bonus on the 30% Tax Rebate for International Production (TRIP) as well as infrastructure investments.
The studio in Paris will house all of Rodeo FX’s French divisions, including Film & Episodic, Advertising & Experiences, and Mikros Animation, and is based in Rue Dieu, a stone’s throw from the Canal Saint Martin in the capital’s 10th arrondissement.
“We’re incredibly proud to see our Paris office grow at such a remarkable pace. This expansion is a testament to the exceptional work delivered by our local teams and reinforces our decision to bolster Rodeo FX’s European presence,” says Sebastien Moreau, President and CEO of Rodeo FX.
Spanning more than 40,000 square feet, the new office has been designed to support Rodeo FX and Mikros Animation’s rapid expansion while fostering closer collaboration across disciplines. By consolidating its teams in a shared space, the company aims to streamline operations, strengthen creative synergy, and accelerate innovation across projects of all scales.
“The journey we’ve made in just two years has been incredible, with every project pushing us further creatively and technically. Entering this new chapter together, of bringing all our teams into a space as inspiring as this, only makes you want to try even harder,” said Franck Lambertz, VFX Supervisor and Head of the Paris Studio.
Having contributed to European productions such as Luc Besson’s Dracula and Alexandre Astier’s Kaamelott, Rodeo FX’s Paris-based Film & Episodic division is currently collaborating on new projects for Netflix and Pathé.
In parallel, the Advertising & Experiences team has delivered high-profile luxury campaigns for brands including Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, and Hermès.
The move into the bigger premises also facilitates the integration of Mikros Animation, which is known internationally for its work on PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.
Rodeo FX’s acquisition of Mikros Animation followed in the wake of the collapse in early 2025 of the France-based Technicolor Group, of which the company was one of four subsidiaries alongside MPC, The Mill and Technicolor Group.
“This move represents a key step in our integration within the Rodeo FX family,” said Julien Meesters, President of Mikros Animation. “It’s a natural continuation of our journey, allowing us to leverage a global pipeline and innovative technologies for our next productions.”
