Overview
How we approach compositing
Compositing is the last creative step before a shot goes to the grade, and the place where small details decide whether an effect is believed. Edge quality, black levels, lens character, grain and motion blur all have to agree before an audience stops looking at the trick and starts watching the story.
Our compositing team works inside the same pipeline as CG, FX and environments, so lighting passes, AOVs and holdouts arrive in the format compositors expect. That keeps iterations fast and lets us answer notes in hours rather than days.
We comp in Nuke against ACES by default and can work to any show LUT or colour pipeline your DI facility provides.

Workflow
From first sketch to final pixel
Fixed review points at every stage, so you always know where each shot stands.
- 01
Breakdown
We read the script, bid every shot and agree budget and schedule up front.
- 02
Previs
Sequences are blocked in 3D so camera, lenses and timing are solved early.
- 03
On-set supervision
Our supervisors capture HDRIs, lidar and reference so post runs smoothly.
- 04
Build & comp
Assets, FX and comps move through weekly dailies with your team.
- 05
Delivery
Final EXRs in ACES, conformed and QC'd to studio and streamer specs.
Can you match our existing show look?
Yes. Share your show LUT, CDLs and a few graded reference frames and we build our comps against the same colour pipeline.
Do you handle invisible fixes on tight turnarounds?
Yes. Single-shot fixes and small clean-up packages run on a fast track with the same senior compositors.
