HQ indie fx companies recommendations

[Rippie]

Starting the process of finding a top notch fx company for a feature
and wondered if anyone here has some recommendations.

I've already contacted a few but I want to get bids from a few more.

Looking for a smaller indie company (less overheard=hopefully lower $)
High end quality fx
Full budget involved.

Would appreciate some input.


Thanks.

Also, are there any good forums out there that specialize in the FX field?
(might be able to get some contacts from such a place)

What kind of FX are you looking for?

I was going to include that in my first post but decided it was way too much detail.

The fx shots have a bit of 3d modeling, but mostly are more tracking, green screen, light, etc.
Think of the style fx in x-men or jumper, I am number 4 trailer is a good example as well.
