Orizon Reviews & Testimonials
UI/UX Design Review from Undisclosed
I employed Orizon to enhance our project's UX/UI design and create a logo using our low-fidelity wireframes. The app design was pleasing and formed our development’s foundation, but the weekly reviews led to many avoidable iterations. Sometimes, their creative designs didn’t prioritize our practical business needs, requiring us to steer the project into the right direction. More frequent updates would've improved the collaboration. (Source: 3rd Party Review Platform)
UI/UX Design Review from Matthew DiMarcantonio
Orizon is absolutely incredible. They are the most talented group of designers I've ever worked with or encountered. They are also very professional and complete everything to the highest quality bar. Orizon will be my first call for design work for years to come.
Branding Review from Ethan Kim
We worked on a very large scope project with Aurelien and team and were able to accomplish so much during the 3 months engagement. Orizon was able to breakdown the scope and lead the UX creation journey while managing to keep the deliverables, timelines, risks well balanced. Aurelien was very open to receiving feedback, accommodating, and suggesting creative new approaches. It was a pleasure to work with!

Yipworld found Launch Digital to be a highly professional company. It listened to yipworld's needs, understood their core values, and grasped the story they wanted to convey. The ability given to yipworld to manage and modify the content as required presents significant savings, as opposed to constantly requesting changes. Launch Digital's staff are always polite, courteous, and professional. (Verified via email)

Revelation Agency Reviews & Testimonials
Branding Review from Marta Stattmiller
A friend referred me to Revelation after they had helped them with their healthy snack brand. We were looking for an agency that would take our idea and design it into a brand that really stood out from the rest. We felt the Revelation group did a great job with all of the branding and marketing brief creation along with guiding us on how to stand out in our space.
Branding Review from Christopher Hiti
We have worked with Revelation on a few branding projects, and they have always delivered on time and with a great sense of creativity. Their team understands market positioning well, and is one of the reasons we continue to utilize them for all things branding and creative.
Web Design Review from Guisou Akhavan
After searching for a few months for a creative agency I ended up going with Revelation, I felt they understood my goals the best along with having a distinct design language. I was pretty impressed with the direction they took on my branding materials and web design project and feel comfortable recommending them to other people needing similar services.

Shopify Review from Bob Long
Lance and his team have been fantastic to work with. We needed to redo our website and store into Shopify. We also needed to convert our Affiliate program to Up Promote. Lance went a bove and beyond our expectations. He is super responsive and is very good at understanding the core goals of the business and then helping to create a system that meets those goals as we defined the vision and strategy we wanted to employ. He is very helpful also at helping to figure out ways to use the Shopify platform and the various integrations to accomplish our goals. Sometimes it has required some custome programming and integration. He is very solution centric and is a trusted advisor we have come to rely on. He has been a key part of the first year growth we have experienced as we launched our products. Best person I have ever worked with in this space.
Web Development Review from Mark Brown
Lance has completed the project as originally requested and we are very happy with the results. We look forward to undertaking new projects with him in the future.
Web Design Review from Jack Nazy
This is the second project that we work with Lance on. I would highly recommend Lance for any Digital Agency looking for a responsive and reliable person to work with. Lance not only knows what he's doing, but also takes the time to understand exactly what his clients are looking to get done. If there are issues, he will come in and figure out the best course of action to tackle the job. I highly recommend Lance, and will be using Ruby Digital for another project very soon. Cheers!

Web Design Review from Robert Rams MBE
Steven and the team were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Amy and I genuinely could not be happier with the support, care and professionalism they showed throughout the process. They went above and beyond for us at every stage, always making us feel reassured and supported.We are hugely grateful for everything they did and cannot thank them enough. I would wholeheartedly recommend Steven and the team to anyone looking for first-class service and support.
Audio Production Review from Larry Charles, Jr.
Although GLH is the latest project I've worked on with 2002 Studios, I'm a long standing repeat business account for them accross multiple projects and I will continue to work with them down the line. The team is available in roughly any timezone (I've come to find out), quite responsive and knowledgeable. I've been helped through small fixes or big deliveries with confidence and ease.Due to the nature of of entertainment, there have been times where feedback improvements needed to be identified and fixed, and without any fuss or extra cost (reasonably) we got the support we needed and timely without any change in attitude towards us, true professionals and customer concious business practices.Audio Services, website design, sound composition and original score, and even marketing support. All stellar and all from one source. I am happy to reccomend them, and actively refer them to new clients when I can.
Audio Production Review from Joe Seward
The quality of work from 2002 Studios Media has been consistently strong. Their team delivers clear, accurate localization and polished content that stays true to the original intent. They show a solid grasp of both language and context, which is essential for this type of work.Projects are delivered on time, even when timelines are tight. The team communicates early if anything could affect delivery, which helps avoid surprises and keeps everything moving smoothly.They are easy to reach and quick to respond. Questions are handled clearly, and feedback is addressed without delay. This makes collaboration simple and efficient across all stages of a project.Pricing is fair for the level of quality and service provided. There is a good balance between cost and value, especially for projects that require careful localization and attention to detail.Overall, I am very satisfied with the experience. 2002 Studios Media is a reliable partner for localization and content production, and I would work with them again.

Steven Alessandro's Review Sourced from Google
BRK Global Marketing and Jack Burke’s creative team absolutely exceeded my expectations.From the very beginning, BRK designed and built an original, standout brand for Devon Creek Landscaping that truly set us apart in the landscaping community. They created our logo and carried it seamlessly across everything—vehicle wraps, uniforms, brochures, social media frames, swag, digital and print advertising, and even our trade show booth.What really impressed me was the depth of strategy behind the creativity. BRK developed our brand voice, brand personality, and comprehensive brand guidelines, which became the foundation of our franchise marketing strategy system when we launched the brand. Everything was thoughtful, consistent, and built for long-term growth.Afterward, we had the pleasure of working with BRK again to design my personal Steven Alessandro brand as a thought leader and consultant for franchise owners and business leaders across the U.S. Once again, they hit the target.Jack and his team were incredibly responsive, listened closely to what I needed, and delivered an end result that was truly beyond my expectations. Their originality, attention to detail, and ability to translate vision into a powerful brand is unmatched.If you’re looking to stand out and build a brand that actually works—not just looks good—BRK Global Marketing is the team to trust.
Brian Gates's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve had the pleasure of working with BRK Global Marketing on multiple initiatives, starting with branding and a new logo for MRC over eighteen years ago, and now continuing with the RubberBond Elements brand and marketing strategy.What truly stands out is the longevity and consistency of strong deliverables that Jack and his team provide. Every project is approached with creativity, originality, and a clear strategic vision. BRK doesn’t just meet expectations—they consistently overdeliver.Their ability to evolve brands while maintaining clarity and impact has made them a trusted partner. I’m excited to continue working together and are already moving forward into 2026 with a new brand awareness strategy. Highly recommend BRK Global Marketing to any organization looking for creative excellence and dependable results.

Over the last three years, I have collaborated on over eleven projects with Watson Creative team. They are a pleasure to deal with and consistently produce outcomes that go above and above! For your upcoming project, I heartily recommend them.
Holt Group Inc.'s Review Sourced from Google
Watson has been a key strategic partner for us on the creative and brand side since the beginning. We've worked with various members across the team and every member of their staff brings excellence and authentic passion to what they do. They have consistently delivered an end product that excites our customers, adding special creative touches along the way so that the results really sing. The way they're able to translate our vision and mission into deliverables across each project has been a weight off our shoulders. Not every creative agency is able to understand the nuances of our industry and we've been so impressed with the time team Watson has taken to really get to know our industry in homebuilding. We've worked with Watson on deliverables such as high level creative direction, but also getting into the nitty gritty of developing content around our warranty program. This was a huge task and they matched us with exactly the right team members to bring it to life who truly cared about getting it right. They're great friends as much as they are our business partners. We highly recommend partnering with Watson Creative.
S Nash's Review Sourced from Google
When we engaged Watson to help us rebrand, we knew it was going to be a challenging process. We had a long-standing reputation as a respected law firm in Portland, but we wanted our brand to reflect our unique culture and the innovative approach we bring to our clients. Watson's team was thorough and thoughtful throughout the entire process, from primary research interviews with our team to the final custom, hand-drawn identity system. The end result was a brand that not only represents who we are as a firm but also sets us apart from our competitors. We continue to receive compliments on our branding years later, and we credit Watson for helping us achieve that success.

Everything You Need to Know Before Hiring Visual Effects Companies
What can VFX companies do for businesses?
They can help turn abstract ideas into clear, persuasive visuals that sell products, explain services, and strengthen storytelling across websites, campaigns, investor presentations, and commercials.
That matters because video is now a mainstream business tool, considering 91% of businesses use video as a marketing tool, and 93% of video marketers say it is an important part of their strategy.
The global visual effects 3D animation market size was valued at $4,771.8 million in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1% from 2023 to 2030.
A VFX studio can help businesses visualize what is difficult, expensive, or impossible to film in real life, such as product demos, technical process videos, digital environments, architectural visualization, simulation, and immersive brand experiences.
Visuals can create immersive environments and provoke emotional responses, boosting audience engagement.
Studies show that people process visual information 60,000 times faster than text, which is why businesses use a visual effects company to simplify technical or abstract ideas through visuals rather than long explanations.
Visual content also significantly impacts conversion performance.
Landing pages with video can increase conversions by up to 80%, which makes high-quality commercials and branded content a direct driver of revenue.
Businesses use visual effects to modernize live production and premium content. VFX can be more cost-effective than building large sets, renting locations, or staging dangerous practical stunts.
With virtual production, a talented team can build controlled digital environments that reduce location costs, speed revisions, and improve consistency for global campaigns.
Virtual production can reduce production costs by around 20-30% in certain cases, according to Deloitte-cited industry analyses. It allows companies to produce premium content with more control and fewer logistical constraints.
How do VFX studios support storytelling?
They help businesses visualize ideas that would otherwise be impossible, too expensive, or too complex to produce physically.
A skilled studio translates creative concepts into compelling visuals, whether that means building entire worlds, enhancing real footage, or guiding the viewer's emotional experience through subtle effects.
ILM's StageCraft work on The Mandalorian is a good example.
During that project, over 50% of season 1 was filmed using the LED volume workflow, which allowed the team to create multiple planets and environments on one stage and eliminated the need for location shoots.
VFX companies also help preserve realism even when the subject cannot be filmed directly.
For Apple TV+'s Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age, the production shot across 15 countries and combined practical puppets with CG to make extinct animals feel as if they had been captured in a real wildlife documentary.
What industries benefit most from visual effects?
The film industry remains the primary driver of demand for visual effects, especially in large-scale feature film production.
Today, it is common for blockbuster films to include over 1,500 VFX shots, with some exceeding 2,000 shots per project, making visual effects companies central to modern production pipelines, according to American Cinematographer.
The growth of streaming has significantly expanded the role of visual effects in television shows.
According to Ampere Analysis, global spending on original content by streaming platforms surpassed $240 billion in 2023, with a large portion allocated to high-end productions that depend heavily on effects.
This shift has brought film-level VFX quality into episodic television, increasing demand for experienced VFX companies.
Advertising is another major beneficiary.
In the United States, digital video advertising spending reached $61.2 billion in 2024, according to the IAB.
Brands increasingly rely on motion graphics, CGI, and animation to create high-impact commercials that capture attention and communicate value quickly in competitive markets.
The gaming and interactive sector also benefits from techniques developed by VFX studios, particularly as real-time rendering becomes more advanced.
The global video game market generated over $184 billion in 2023, according to Newzoo.
Cinematic visuals and immersive environments were often built using visual effects workflows, which played a key role in user engagement.
Beyond entertainment, the architecture, engineering, and manufacturing industries use visual effects to visualize complex systems and products.
How important is location when hiring these companies?
Location still plays a meaningful role when choosing between VFX companies, but it is no longer the limiting factor it once was.
One of the biggest factors is financial incentives.
In the United Kingdom, film and high-end television productions can receive up to 25% tax relief on qualifying expenditures through the Film & TV Tax Relief program, according to BFI.
Similarly, regions in the United States, such as California, offer state-level incentives that can cover 20-30% of production costs, depending on the project.
These incentives are a key reason why major productions often choose specific locations or partner with studios that have a presence there.
Location also impacts access to talent.
Global hubs such as Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco are home to some of the most experienced visual effects studios.
For example, New Zealand's screen sector generated over NZD $3.5 billion in revenue in 2023, driven in large part by high-end visual effects work and international productions.
This concentration of expertise often translates into higher-quality output and more efficient workflows.
At the same time, emerging markets are becoming increasingly competitive.
South Korea is investing $1 billion to support the growth of the country's animation sector through to 2029.

5 Frequently Asked Questions About VFX Companies
What services do visual effects companies offer?
They provide a wide range of technical and creative services that transform raw footage into immersive visual experiences across film, television shows, commercials, and digital content.
A typical VFX company delivers end-to-end production support, including:
- CGI and animation: Creating digital characters, environments, and simulations.
- Compositing: Combining multiple layers of footage into a seamless final shot.
- Motion capture and tracking: Translating real-world movement into digital assets.
- Matte painting and environment design: Building large-scale digital worlds.
- Atmosphere visual effects: Smoke, fire, water, weather, and particle simulations.
- Motion graphics: Visual elements for commercials, branding, and digital campaigns.
- Post-production editing and enhancement: Refining shots for consistency and realism.
These services are essential to modern production, as around 80% of top-grossing movies rely heavily on visual effects, and over 3,000 films globally used VFX in 2023 alone, according to Market Growth Reports.
Leading VFX companies go beyond post-production and support the entire creative pipeline:
- Virtual production: Real-time environments using LED stages and game engines.
- Previsualization (previz): Planning scenes digitally before filming.
- Digital doubles and de-aging: Recreating actors or modifying performances.
- AI-assisted workflows: Speeding up rotoscoping, rendering, and compositing.
The rise of virtual production is particularly significant, with the market projected to grow from $2.9 billion in 2024 to nearly $13 billion by 2034, reflecting how quickly studios are adopting real-time workflows.
How much does it cost to hire a VFX studio?
The price of hiring VFX studios varies widely based on the project scope, complexity, and the level of visual effects required. It can go from $5,000 to $50,000 for independent projects to millions for feature films.
According to various sources, VFX experts price their work based on complexity:
- Simple effects (cleanup, basic compositing): a few hundred to $1,000 per shot
- Mid-level work (environment extensions, animation): $2,000-$5,000 per minute
- High-end shots for a feature film: $10,000-$60,000 per shot
- Complex blockbuster sequences can exceed $100,000 per shot
The overall cost of hiring visual effects studios depends heavily on the type of content:
- Commercials and branded content: From $1,000 to $20,000 per minute, depending on complexity.
- Independent film projects: Often allocate between $5,000 and $25,000 total for VFX work.
- High-end film and television shows: Visual effects typically account for 20-25% of the total production budget.
- Blockbuster productions: Entire films can reach budgets of $65 million+, with a significant portion dedicated to VFX.
What kind of portfolio should these companies have?
A VFX studio’s portfolio should clearly demonstrate technical capability, creative artistry, and the ability to support high-quality storytelling across different formats.
- Diverse work across formats and industries
VFX companies should showcase projects across feature films, television shows, streaming content, high-end commercials, and digital campaigns. - High-quality, realistic visual effects work
A credible studio should highlight seamless compositing and integration, advanced atmosphere visual effects, photorealistic CGI and animation, and clean breakdowns showing before-and-after shots. VFX studios like Sony Pictures Imageworks and Moving Picture Company are known for delivering large volumes of complex shots. Some productions exceed 2,000 VFX shots per film, demonstrating scale and consistency. - Evidence of innovation and modern workflows
A modern portfolio should reflect innovation, including the use of virtual production pipelines, real-time rendering tools, and AI-assisted compositing and automation. - Recognized work and industry credibility
Look for indicators of quality, such as credits on major film or television productions, collaborations with well-known companies, and recognition like an Academy Award or related nominations. A VFX agency tied to franchises influenced by George Lucas and Star Wars, for example, has historically set benchmarks for the best visual effects, raising expectations across the industry. - Strong storytelling and creative direction
Beyond technical execution, their portfolios should show how visual effects enhance narrative through emotional impact in key scenes, cohesive visual style across sequences, and support for brand messaging in commercials.
What is the process for working with a VFX company?
The process of working with VFX companies includes the following phases:
- Discovery and project briefing: Define goals, scope, budget, and timelines with the studio, including the type of visual effects, target audience, and deliverables.
- Concept development and planning: The studio creates initial concepts, references, and previsualizations to align storytelling, style, and technical approach.
- Bidding and scope approval: Detailed cost estimates are provided based on shot complexity, with clear breakdowns for film, television shows, or commercials.
- Pre-production setup: Planning for shoot requirements, data capture, and workflows, such as virtual production or integration with special effects.
- Production collaboration: VFX studios may support on-set supervision to ensure footage is captured correctly for VFX integration.
- Post-production and execution: VFX artists handle compositing, animation, motion graphics, and atmosphere visual effects, often across multiple review stages.
- Review and feedback cycles: Iterative approvals ensure quality, with clients reviewing versions and refining details to achieve the best visual effects.
- Final delivery and optimization: The completed shots are delivered in required formats, optimized for platforms like television, digital, or theatrical release.
- Data security and archiving: The studio ensures protection of assets and personal information, especially for high-profile or unreleased content.
What is the difference between visual effects and special effects?
Understanding the difference between visual effects and special effects is essential when planning a production, as each plays a distinct role in creating and executing scenes.
While top VFX companies often combine both approaches, knowing when each is used can help optimize budget, safety, and overall storytelling quality.
| Aspect | Visual effects | Special effects |
| Definition | Digital effects created in post-production | Physical effects created on set during filming |
| Creation stage | After filming | During filming |
| Techniques |
|
|
| Flexibility and safety | Highly flexible, safer for complex scenes | Less flexible, can involve physical risk |
| Role in production | Widely used across feature film, television shows, and commercials | Often combined with VFX to enhance realism |
