Intelligent Creatures

Between us and Ed's Real Scoop you will find a quiet unassuming building housing Intelligent Creatures, one of the most innovative creators of computerized special effects in the feature film industry.

Intelligent Creatures is a Visual Effects studio dedicated to helping cinema's finest directors tell their most compelling stories; working on such films as Watchmen, Hairspray, Babel, Stranger Than Fiction, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The Company stands among the industry's most progressive Visual Effects creators.

With fully integrated 2D & 3D compositing and animation pipelines and a wealth of on-set experience, the Company stands among the industry’s most progressive VFX creators. Intelligent Creatures relentlessly pursues its mission to be the leading company in the world providing Visual Effects that plays a strong supporting role in high-end creatively driven feature films.

The current owners and co-founders of IC, Michael Hatton and Lon Molnar met while working in the Visual Effects Industry in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, both of them holding senior positions, covering all aspects of visual effects production: visual effects supervision, digital compositing, 3D animation and production management.

Officially opening its doors in 2003, Intelligent Creatures has attracted such clients as Warner Brothers, Miramax Films, MGM, New Line Cinemas, and Twentieth Century Fox. IC’s portfolio spotlights the visual effects its partners set out to achieve. Working on such films as Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Stranger Than Fiction, Babel, Number 23 and Watchmen, Intelligent Creatures continually raises the bar when it comes to seamless visual effects and creative design.

I asked Donovan Zulauf, New Business Development Manager for IC what brought the company to Queen St. E.: "As for what brought us to the Beach? I would say that Lon and Michael just really liked the neighbourhood, and thought it would be a great place for the studio out of the craziness from downtown."
