The series Mégantic won the Telly Awards 2024 Silver for best visual effects.
I worked one year on this project in Houdini and compositing, creating explosions, flames, smokes and environments over 38 shots. I was part of the AA Studios team in Montreal, and the VFX amounted to 380 shots and 60 minutes. The 8 episodes fiction series adapted the real stories of the survivors from the oil train wreck that destroyed the town center of Lac-Mégantic in July 2013. Despite its tragic subject, the series received excellent critics for its sensible and dramatic direction, and as necessary memory landmark in Quebec's history.
