Eden FX is creating all of the visual effects for the new MTV dramatic series “Teen Wolf,” announced John Gross, Creative Director, Eden FX.
Filled with suspense, horror and the struggle to discover one’s true identity, the new MTV series puts a modern spin on one of the most popular classic films of the eighties, MGM’s “Teen Wolf.” The re-invention comes alive as a sexy thriller set against the drama of high school life with a forbidden, romantic love story at its core.
For “Teen Wolf,” Visual Effects Supervisor John Gross and his talented team at Eden FX will be creating a variety of visual effects, from simple wire removals and eye glows, to full blown matte paintings, transformations and full CGI character creation.
Says Gross, “‘Teen Wolf’ is a really exciting project for us. We get to flex a lot of our creative muscles, and working with the production is a real pleasure. We’re all in sync regarding the look of the visuals for the show, and that’s a big plus.”
“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.”
Adds Russell Mulcahy, Director/Co-Executive Producer of “Teen Wolf” said, “We couldn’t have asked for more creativity from an F/X house. John Gross and his team of talented artists at Eden FX have really put their ‘A’ game on. When Jeff Davis and I went to Eden FX for the pilot, I remember one particular scene. I had provided some rough plates of the Scott McCall character stumbling back in the forest. Eden’s artists produced this great scene of the deer stampede. When I saw it, I asked, ‘Can one of the deer crash to the ground near Scott?’ Within 2 days there it was! The deer hitting the ground, dust flying, its mouth opened in pain and anger from the fallโฆit was perfect! Eden continues to amaze us with their creative talents and visual contributions through out the series. To put it another wayโฆ’GREAT EFFING STUFF.'”

“ฦvolution” 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 ฦvolution, 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? ฦvolutionย suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence,ย ฦvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating โin the blink of an eyeโ the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called โprogressโ 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), Oscarยฎ... Read More
