Atmosphere Visual Effects

Atmosphere Visual Effects is a Canadian visual effects company. It was founded in Vancouver in 2003 by Andrew Karr, Tom Archer, and Jeremy Hoey, ex-employees of Vancouver-based visual effects company GVFX, after said company folded in that year. They have worked on a number of science fiction shows, including the reimagined Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Atlantis, The 4400, Andromeda, and Babylon 5: The Lost Tales.

Their work on the new Battlestar Galactica has been nominated for several awards. Their work on the episode "The Hand of God" was nominated for an Emmy in 2005. They have been nominated for two Visual Effects Society awards in 2006, for the episodes "Exodus" and "Downloaded".
