Visual effects artists from FuseFX are currently nominated for three Visual Effects Society (VES) Awards for their work in episodic television.
Visual Effects Supervisor Kevin Lingenfelser has received a nomination for his work on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The nomination is for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual Effects-Driven Photoreal/Live Action Broadcast Program. He shares the nomination with VFX Supervisor Mark Kolpack, VFX Producer Sabrina Arnold, Special Effects Supervisor Gary D’Amico and Digital Effects Supervisor David Breedon. Lingenfelser shared a 2014 Primetime Emmy nomination for his work on the same series.
Visual Effects Supervisor Jason Piccioni, Visual Effects Producer Jason C. Spratt, CG Supervisor Mike Kirylo, Visual Effects Supervisor Justin Ball and Special Effects Coordinator Eric Roberts are nominated for Outstanding Supporting Visual Effects in a Visual Effects-Driven Photoreal/Live Action Broadcast Program for American Horror Story: Freak Show. Kirylo and Ball each have two previous VES nominations.
Compositors Tommy Tran, Joseph Vincent Pike, Rob Lutz and Matt Lefferts are nominated for Outstanding Compositing in a Photoreal/Live Action Broadcast Program for American Horror Story: Freak Show.
We are extremely proud of our work on these two shows and grateful to have the efforts of our team recognized by our peers in the Visual Effects Society,” says FuseFX founder David Altenau. “These nominations reflect months of dedicated effort by artists from many disciplines each of them achieving excellence under challenging circumstances.”
Airing on ABC, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is Marvel’s first live action television series. FuseFX produces numerous effects for the show via two teams of artists and its customized, highly efficient workflow pipeline. The facility contributed to the design of “The Bus,” a modified C17 military transport plane outfitted with S.H.I.E.L.D. technology, and “Lola,” a classic 1962 Corvette fitted with hidden jet engines.
FuseFX has produced visual effects for all four seasons of American Horror Story. The fourth season, subtitled Freak Show, is primarily set in 1952 Jupiter, Florida and tells the story of one of the last remaining freak shows in the United States. Work on the show ranges from digital environments and matte paintings to face and body replacements, digital doubles and pyrotechnics.
Founded in 2006 by Altenau, FuseFX has emerged as a leading independent producer of visual effects for television, feature films and commercials. The company employs more than 100 artists and support staff across offices in Burbank, New York and Vancouver. It consistently has more than 30 shows in production simultaneously.

Simian Gets An Evolutionary Boost For Collaboration, Reveals “Teams”
Simian, the showreel-building, review & approval, and production asset management platform used globally by creative leaders, is kicking off this fall season with a substantial leap forward for collaboration and project management – with more updates on the way during the holidays!
The new feature, aptly dubbed “Teams”, makes it easier than ever for users to give project responsibilities to team members and clients alike. “You can never have too many options when it comes to permission levels,” says Jay Brooks, Simian’s Chief Technology Officer. “Teams provides a streamlined way to assign multiple users to a project at once.”
“Teams are very powerful, but creating one is effortless,” Brian Atton, Simian’s Chief Operating Officer explains. “Simply enter a Team name, add members, and then apply the newly made Team to any desired project. You can even invite temporary guests without changing settings for other projects or needing to create a new Team.”
“We love helping our clients by providing efficient tools to improve their workflow, and this has been a frequently requested feature as of late,” shares Kellie Atton, Head of Sales at Simian. “It feels great to get Teams out into the wild because I know it’s going to be tremendously helpful to everyone who uses it”.
Teams is now available exclusively to Simian’s enterprise clients. Simian plans to release more product upgrades and enhancements during Q4 2024 and 2025 for enterprise and non-enterprise users, continuing its ongoing evolution as the industry’s leading production asset management solution.
