Paul Patrick Quinn, a VFX artist on Avengers: Infinity War and X-Files is dead at 63. The producer was a pivotal figure for Vancouver’s Barnstorm VFX. Their outfit worked on a ton of big projects and television shows over the years. A company spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter that Quinn died “suddenly and unexpectedly” on January 3. in Canada. It turns out that the producer was absolutely essential in getting the Vancouver branch of the company off the ground. Until then, Barnstorm really operated out of California. The producer made his name on the X-Files in the mid-90s, and also had a hand in Spawn back in 1997. Some of the biggest science fiction and action films of the ensuing decades had some of this man’s influence in them. Notably, Barnstorm co-founder Lawson Deming had complete confidence in Quinn and his team to make the transformation a success.
