VFX Pipeline

Build the shot from invisible fixes to impossible worlds.

Visual effects is not just one software skill. It is a connected production pipeline where tracking, clean-up, rotoscopy, CG, lighting, simulation and compositing come together to make the final shot believable.

01

Track

Use camera tracking, match moving and stabilisation logic to prepare shots for CG and compositing.

02

Roto

Separate subjects, create masks, clean plates and isolate elements for advanced visual effects work.

03

Build

Create set extensions, matte paintings, 3D assets, lighting and rendered elements for the shot.

04

Simulate

Explore particles, dynamics, smoke, fire, destruction and Houdini-style procedural effects thinking.

05

Composite

Blend live action and CG using Nuke-style node workflows, color, depth and final shot polish.

Rotoscopy

Create precise masks and mattes for complex live-action shots, object isolation and layered compositing.

Match Moving

Track camera movement so 3D elements can sit naturally inside live-action footage.

Digital Matte Painting

Build believable environments, set extensions and impossible locations for cinematic shots.

Compositing

Blend live footage, CG renders, passes, color and atmospherics into final VFX shots.

CG Lighting

Understand light direction, shadows, reflections and render passes for seamless integration.

FX Simulation

Explore procedural effects like particles, smoke, fire, water, destruction and magical energy.

Color and Finish

Match plates, refine contrast, add depth and polish the final look of VFX-heavy scenes.

Showreel Shots

Package your best work as breakdowns that communicate process, craft and final output.
