Branding Review from Jake Tesoriero
We've worked with the Dirtverse team on the branding for both North House and, more recently, Norcu. We gave them pretty much free rein creatively and were blown away by what they came back with every step of the way. They really understood what we were trying to achieve, even when we couldn't necessarily put it into words ourselves. They're creative, easy to work with and genuinely great at what they do. We couldn't be happier with both brands and would highly recommend the Dirtverse team!
Web Design Review from Marco Noé
We had the absolute pleasure of working with the talented team at Dirt on the branding and website for WldCntry. From our first call their creativity, strategic thinking, and well rounded skillset all spoke to what we believe is high quality work. The team brought WldCntry to life with a visual identity that not only stands out but perfectly captures what we set out to build. A video production company that breaks a few rules while still believing in the fundamentals needed for award winning films. Their ability to translate a feeling and vision into a cohesive impactful brand was an unforgettable experience!
Branding Review from Bo Rex
Working with the girls at Studio Dirt was such a pleasure, we had the idea they turned it into something beyond our imagination to give us and our clients the best experience. From branding to website design and social media ideation and much more they are such a big help and continue to be even now. Bace would not exist without them and we are truly grateful.

Tom Ledford's Review Sourced from Google
I recently had Peter and the team at Crafted review my website, and I was genuinely impressed by the depth of their analysis.What I expected to be a few quick notes turned into a detailed audit with clear, actionable recommendations covering SEO, website performance, image optimization, accessibility, metadata, and overall search visibility. Peter didn't just point out opportunities for improvement, he took the time to explain them and provide real examples that could be implemented immediately.What stood out most was how practical the feedback was. The recommendations were tailored to my business and gave me a clear roadmap for improving my website's SEO, user experience, and ability to be discovered by potential clients online.It's rare to find someone who is both highly knowledgeable and generous with their expertise. If you're looking for a team that truly understands web design, SEO, branding, and digital strategy, I would absolutely recommend Peter and the team at Crafted.Thank you again for all the insight, guidance, and value you provided.

You truly get what you pay for with this agency, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-tier creative partner. Overall, I have been consistently impressed by the work of Greg and Peter, and I am confident that they will continue to produce exceptional work for years to come.

Carryn and Emaculate Designs have been absolute dynamite with the artwork they've provided us, and Carryn's support of our many projects is fabulous and infectious. Every time Carryn and Emaculate Designs send us new artwork it's exciting and fun to see what they've come up with. One of our favorite aspects regarding Carryn is that she is both professional and personal in her communication and interaction with us. Carryn has become a friend and an ally for us, and her personal touches make us feel comfortable, at ease, and knowing we're in more than capable hands. One can't go wrong with bringing Carryn and Emaculate Designs on board!

They took our stale website and transformed it with an engaging motion graphic that immediately captures visitors' attention and creates a fantastic first impression. The animated product screen for our walk -in customers created by Meatloaf, was also a real plus! Meatloaf Productions was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process.

Ma Matt's Review Sourced from Google
Earlier this year, we collaborated with CABBAGE in Budapest for a commercial shoot on behalf of our Chinese client. CABBAGE acted as our local production partner and helped us put together a fantastic creative team for the project.From pre-production, creative support, on-site execution to post-production, the whole process was smooth and professional. The CABBAGE team was highly efficient, well-organized, and always quick to respond whenever we needed anything. Our client was extremely satisfied with the final result, and we were too.Their office environment also deserves a mention — it’s comfortable, welcoming, and fully equipped, providing a perfect base for both prep and post work. You can really feel their passion for production the moment you walk in.A special thanks to Szabi Moradi, who was an exceptional producer throughout the project. Professional, easy to communicate with, flexible, and always willing to go the extra mile to make things happen. Working with him was a real pleasure.This collaboration was not just a successful project, but also the beginning of a genuine friendship with the CABBAGE team. I look forward to working together again soon. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and talented production partner in Hungary!

Cabbage went above and beyond for our shoot for an international client. We were very impressed by their attention to detail and ability to manage a complex shoot. They over delivered on the budget we gave them and I will definitely be using them again next time we shoot in Budapest.

The TopSphere team was excellent for us to do remote video content capturing with little guidance. Trusting someone to work with clients and manage a remote video shoot without us onsite requires very good customer service skills and an excellent creative eye, and TopShpere did it all with great success. Very pleased with the end result and they were easy to work with. Also bonus as we are located in Canada and they were able to manage data transfer seamlessly.

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.
