    NEW YORK --

    Oscar-winning creative studio Framestore has appointed Thomas Montminy Brodeur as VFX supervisor to further bolster the company’s episodic offering under New York managing director, Charles Howell. 

    With 15 years of industry experience, Montminy Brodeur will be charged with developing methodologies and maintaining high-end image quality across a variety of episodic projects.

    Joining Framestore from Rodeo FX in Montreal, Montminy Brodeur spent the last decade in the roles of digital compositor, digital compositing supervisor, and most recently VFX supervisor on primetime shows such as Black Sails, Crawl and Watchmen. He also worked on Game of Thrones (seasons 4-7), during which time he acted as compositing supervisor for seasons 6 and 7. 

    Montminy Brodeur began his career at Framestore in London as a paint and roto artist working on films such as Where the Wild Things Are, Avatar, and Sherlock Holmes.  “Many years ago, Framestore gave me my first shot at a dream job,” he said. “The opportunity to be back with such an incredible team, pushing the limits of what we are capable of as a company and an industry is extremely exciting to me.”

    “Thomas is a holistic problem-solver of the highest caliber, capable of delivering amazing images,” said Howell. “The four seasons of experience on Game of Thrones, in addition to the countless other shows he’s worked on, have equipped him with the expertise to lead teams with a strategic mindset.” 

    Montminy Brodeur claims a host of industry awards, including a VES Award for Outstanding Environment in a Photoreal Episode for Game of Thrones, as well as a Giant Screen Cinema Association (GSCA) Award for Best Visual Effects. He graduated from Collège Mérici in Quebec City with a diploma in multimedia, an AEC degree in visual effects compositing at Institut Grasset.

    Discovering his passion of imparting knowledge and skills to the next generation of artists, he has also taught compositing at Institut Grasset, l’Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT) and O’Sullivan College of Québec.  Moreover, he later earned an undergraduate certificate in 3D for visual effects from UQAT to further build his skillset and understanding across departments in order to produce the best solutions for clients.

    Is “Glicked” The New “Barbenheimer”? “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” Hit Theater Screens

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    "Barbenheimer" was a phenomenon impossible to manufacture. But, more than a year later, that hasn't stopped people from trying to make "Glicked" — or even "Babyratu" — happen.

    The counterprogramming of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" in July 2023 hit a nerve culturally and had the receipts to back it up. Unlike so many things that begin as memes, it transcended its online beginnings. Instead of an either-or, the two movies ultimately complemented and boosted one another at the box office.

    And ever since, moviegoers, marketers and meme makers have been trying to recreate that moment, searching the movie release schedule for odd mashups and sending candidates off into the social media void. Most attempts have fizzled (sorry, "Saw Patrol" ).

    This weekend is perhaps the closest approximation yet as the Broadway musical adaptation "Wicked" opens Friday against the chest-thumping sword-and-sandals epic "Gladiator II." Two big studio releases (Universal and Paramount), with one-name titles, opposite tones and aesthetics and big blockbuster energy — it was already halfway there before the name game began: "Wickiator," "Wadiator," "Gladwick" and even the eyebrow raising "Gladicked" have all been suggested.

    "'Glicked' rolls off the tongue a little bit more," actor Fred Hechinger said at the New York screening of "Gladiator II" this week. "I think we should all band around 'Glicked.' It gets too confusing if you have four or five different names for it."

    As with "Barbenheimer," as reductive as it might seem, "Glicked" also has the male/female divide that make the fan art extra silly. One is pink and bright and awash in sparkles, tulle, Broadway bangers and brand tie-ins; The other is all sweat and sand, blood and bulging... Read More
