Visual effects studio Rising Sun Pictures has been bought by Hollywood studio FuseFX, in a move that the Rising Sun says will help it grow.
Under the deal announced last week, Rising Sun Pictures (RSP) will maintain its brand and continue to be based in Adelaide, South Australia under the guidance of co-founder Tony Clark.
FuseFX is a full-service visual effects company with studios in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Vancouver, Montréal, Toronto and Bogotá.
It says there will be no operational changes to the RSP business and that the team will look to grow after a recent expansion of the Adelaide headquarters that increased capacity to 270 staff.
