Founded in 2002 by partners Allan Magled, Berj Bannayan, and Mike Mombourquette, Soho VFX began as a boutique studio employing only a handful of people. From the beginning, the studio's specialty was the production of high-quality photo-realistic visual effects. In 2005, Soho VFX landed itself a leading visual effects role: the creation of the elastic "Mr. Fantastic" in Marvel's The Fantastic Four
. For this project, the studio expanded to include more than 40 artists. Since then, Soho VFX has helped superheroes come to life in several other Marvel productions. In 2007, Soho VFX expanded its facilities again in order to take on almost 200 shots for The Incredible Hulk. The studio's success on this blockbuster project propelled it to become a world-renowned visual effects house. To this day, a life-sized model of the Hulk towers over the studio's reception area, commemorating the determination and drive of the entire Soho VFX team. Since then, Soho VFX has continued to produce top-quality visual effects, contributing to many box office hits, including: X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The A-Team, Battle: Los Angeles, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
