What we do

One partner,
three ways to work.

VFX workloads rarely match the size of the team carrying them. Some studios hand us a full scope to deliver, some bring a senior artist inside their team, and some grow the artists they already have. Each service exists for one of those situations.

01 · Co-development

Our core service

A senior VFX crew that delivers a full scope in your engine.

You bring the game, we bring the crew: senior artists in your engine daily, a VFX Director who joins your reviews, and a producer who keeps the budget where we set it together. Scope is priced before work starts and staffing moves with the plan, so delivery stays predictable without growing your own department.

Concept, direction and production, owned end to end
Built and integrated in your engine, on your pipeline
A budget envelope locked up front and held
Direction decided in your reviews, not around them

Typical crew

1–2 senior artists daily · VFX Director 1–2 days a week · producer monthly

Every production gets its own shape, agreed at budget lock.

Cinematic VFX, lighting, and compositing for prerendered sequences.

Optimisation & profiling

Performance budgets, LOD strategies, and memory discipline.

Working with us

Your engine, your pipeline,
your rhythm.

We work inside your production, not next to it. Files land in your version control, reviews happen in your meetings, and effects are profiled against your performance budgets.

How it starts

01
Tell us about your game
The effects you need, the engine you are on, and the dates that matter. A short call or a written brief both work.
02
We come back with a plan
Within two business days you get our read on the work: the approach, the crew we would put on it, and a budget range.
03
Budget lock, then production
We agree on scope, team and envelope together, then work starts on a weekly review rhythm.
