We are super excited to see that a new trailer has dropped for the Summit Entertainment/Lionsgate production “Kin”. The first feature film written and directed by brothers Jonathan and Josh Baker, “Kin” stars James Franco, Jack Reynor, Dennis Quaid, Zoe Kravitz, Carrie Coon and Myles Truitt.

Led by in-house and on set VFX Supervisor Anthony Paterson, Rocket Science VFX artists produced over 140 amazing VFX shots for the finished film, many of which feature prominently in the new trailer. “Kin” is scheduled to be in wide release on August 31, 2018.

From the Wendigo to Tarry Alanna, and from Palermo’s Norman Chapel to The Great Red Dragon, no other series project has challenged our artists to produce such creative visuals that have resonated so greatly with the series many internet-savvy Fannibals. Through all 39 episodes, Rocket Science VFX provided the primary vfx design and supervision for the series through hundreds of shots and many man hours both on set and in the studio.
Rocket Science would also like to thank Executive Producers Martha De Laurentiis and Steve Lightfoot, and Gaumont International Television executives Carol Trussel and Tim King, as well as the entire cast and crew of Hannibal. We hope to dine together again soon.
Rocket Science is happy to announce it has completed its move to swank new offices at 35 Golden Avenue. Built upon the floor plan of a former uniform factory, the new facility is located in the heart of the Junction at the top of Roncesvalle village, near both the subway and high speed rail to the Toronto Airport.
The new custom-designed facility will allow Rocket Science to grow to more than 100 artists and support staff, offering our clients an even more extensive range of services and capabilities. The massive artist space affectionately dubbed “The Barn” is one giant pillar-and-partition free space that can house all of our artists in a single cool, collaborative environment with custom screening rooms, 10 gigabit ethernet to the desk, and high speed fiber links to the world. In winter we flood the floor and turn it into a hockey rink!
Also housing a gourmet bakery and cafe, custom coffee house, and even a dance studio, the building at 35 Golden Ave is a modern marvel of design and technological advancement.
Rocket Science VFX is very excited to be a key part of the VFX team bringing Alcon Entertainment’s “The Expanse” to life.

True to it’s name, Rocket Science is responsible for the CG build, animation, realistic rendering, and compositing of the key spacecraft in the series, the Tachi/Rocinante, the Canterbury, Tycho Station, and the Nauvoo for hundreds of shots throughout the 10 part series.
