Not long ago it was learnt that FuseFX shifted to a bigger facility in New York and had announced the series it will be working on this year. Now, further strengthening its Los Angeles production staff, FuseFX has added three veteran visual effects producers. They include Sean Tompkins, a two-time Emmy nominee who previously served as associate head of production at Zoic Studios.

Tompkins began his career with the iconic CBS series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation before joining Zoic in 2007 and received his Emmy nominations for Falling Skies and Hemlock Grove. He has also produced visual effects for shows like Homeland, True Blood, Mad Men and Fringe. At FuseFX, Tompkins is producing effects for the CBS series Sleepy Hollow, Rush Hour and Limitless, among other projects.
“Delivering great effects on time and on budget is at the core of what we do,” said FuseFX, president, David Altenau. “Sean’s wealth of experience in managing large teams and complex project will help us continue to deliver the results our clients expect. We are thrilled to have him on our team.”
