Hydraulx

hy*drau"lx, alternatively spelled HYDRAULX and Hydraulx, is a visual effects (vfx) company based in Santa Monica, California.

History

Hydraulx was founded in 2002 by Greg and Colin Strause, directors of Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.[1] In 2005, the studio completed over 700 visual effects shots for feature films. The company is based in Santa Monica, California.[2]

In 2010, the company produced their own feature film, Skyline, which was also directed by the Strause brothers. That film would result in a lawsuit against the brothers by Sony Pictures Entertainment. The suit alleged that the brothers diverted resources meant for their work on Battle: Los Angeles to Skyline. Shortly after the release of Battle, Sony dropped their lawsuit, claiming they were satisfied that none of the brothers' work on that film ended up in Skyline.[3]

Hydraulx was one of thirteen companies that worked on the 2011 film Captain America: The First Avenger.[4][5]

In 2012 the company did effects work on The Avengers.[6]
