FAQ
HOW MUCH DOES VFX COST PER SHOT?
We quote every project case by case. Cost depends on shot complexity, length, shot count and finishing needs, from simple composites to full CGI and heavy simulation. Send us your brief, shot count and budget range and we will send an itemized bid.
HOW LONG DOES VFX TAKE?
We scope the schedule for each project. It depends on shot count and complexity. Send us your deadline and we will tell you if it works and what we would do first.
DO YOU SHOOT OR JUST DO POST?
We do both. We plan VFX shoots (green screen or LED volume), run them, and finish them in-house. Or we integrate with footage you already shot.
CAN YOU MATCH OUR EXISTING LOOK?
Yes. We match your brand guidelines, existing campaign shots, practical lighting and color. We composite to look invisible.
WHAT SOFTWARE AND TOOLS DO YOU USE?
Houdini for simulation, Nuke for compositing, Cinema 4D and Blender for CGI, Unreal Engine for real-time and virtual production, and DaVinci Resolve and Premiere for finishing.
DO YOU DO PHOTOREALISTIC CGI?
Yes. We build, light and render photoreal CGI for products, vehicles and environments, and composite them to match your shoot.
