Visual Effects (VFX)

Ascent Media puts one of the world’s most advanced and diverse teams of visual effects (VFX) supervisors and artists at your disposal. From simple 2D compositing to complex 3D animation, we bring your vision to life by providing comprehensive visual effects from initial visualization, storyboards and design, to execution, on-set supervision and management of the entire digital process. We can provide real-time color correction with no rendering required. And with our exclusive CineSync system, you can greatly streamline the approval process by allowing multiple parties in multiple locations to view and sign off on visual effects in progress. Teams of Ascent producers ensure that the entire VFX process fits within your global workflow and creates as little interference to live shooting as possible.
