FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FUSEFX NOMINATED FOR TWO HPA OUTSTANDING VISUAL EFFECTS –
The Orville and 9-1-1 Recognized for VFX Excellence

(LOS ANGELES— October 1st, 2019) — The Hollywood Professional Association (HPA) announced today the nominations for the 2019 HPA Awards Awards. FuseFX, a Los Angeles-based visual effects studio, received two nominations, Outstanding Visual Effects – Episodic (Over 13 Episodes) for The Orville and 9-1-1.

FuseFX has accumulated a series of nominations this award season and can now add two HPA nominations with nominations for The Orville and 9-1-1. CEO/Founder Dave Altenau shares his excitement about the nominations, "The awards season is always an exciting time of the year. It's fantastic to see our work and artists acknowledged. I'm incredibly proud of our facilities and teams for bringing home two more nominations from the HPA. The work on the 911 earthquake episode, and The Orville are completely different, but both were extremely challenging and rewarding. The diversity of or work really exemplifies the talent and breadth of our creative staff."

The Orville is an American science fiction comedy-drama television series created by and starring Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. Episode 209, "Identity Part II" was nominated in large part due to a nearly 8-minute epic space battle unlike anything seen of episodic television.

“To be recognized by the HPA is a great honor.  It was a massive effort by many talented artists and producers to deliver this show.  Everyone on this team went above and beyond to deliver that special something to achieve Seth McFarlane’s vision.  It is an achievement that we are all very proud to have been a part of.” said Tommy Tran, VFX supervisor on The Orville.

9-1-1's episode 202, "7.1", begins with a 7.1 earthquake causing a hotel to partially collapse, trapping inhabitants above and below. The city-wide destruction included a freeway overpass collapsed. In all, over 200 shots were completed in a week for one of the premiere episodes of 911.

Jon Massey, the VFX Supervisor on 9-1-1, had this to say, "Thank you HPA for recognizing the incredible talent and amazing work that went into creating the visual effects for 9-1-1’s episode 7.1. We work with true magicians and wizards. Every day they push the boundaries of what can be accomplished in episodic television. And thank you to Tim Minear and his merry band of creators who gave us the opportunity to reach great heights."
