For “Teen Wolf,” Visual Effects Supervisor John Gross and his talented team at Eden FX have provided all of the VFX for the series, including a full CG character which has been incorporated into the on-going storyline. Eden has also created a variety of other visual effects for the series, ranging from simple wire removals and eye glows, to matte paintings and character transformations.

Said Gross, “The first season of ‘Teen Wolf’ has been a very rewarding series to work on. We’ve created the VFX for each of the season’s 12 episodes and each episode has gotten more and more exciting, both in story and in the usage of the visual effects. We’re excited to see what’s in store for season two!”
“Teen Wolf” Executive Producer Jeff Davis, said, “John Gross and his team at Eden FX are without a doubt some of the top pros in the business of film and television visual effects. Not only have they gathered together an extraordinarily talented group of artists, but they are also some of the most consistently professional and pleasurable people with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working. From the creation of stampeding deer to rampaging werewolves, they’ve exceeded our expectations at every turn, and have more than proven themselves as superior creative partners.”

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
