Web Design Review from David Sterling
We brought in Creative Brand Design to support the launch of a new sub-brand and they delivered exactly what we were after a visually engaging, well-structured site thats helped us make a confident move into a new area of the market. Communication was clear, timelines were kept to, and they were easy to deal with throughout. A little more structure around the CMS handover wouldve been helpful, but support was there when needed. Would happily recommend.
Web Design Review from Emily Clarke
Working with CBD was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They took the time to truly understand my vision and translated it into a brand and website that feels modern, professional, and inspiring. Every element from the branding to the layout and user experience was thoughtfully designed and perfectly aligned with the goals of my training business. I couldnt be happier with the final result and would highly recommend CBD to anyone looking for standout web design and branding.

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.

I have been working closely with Shakes team for more than 8 years. In additional to the fact that they are absolutely the top-notch professionals and design talents I ever worked with, but they are also the true partner I relied on. Incredibly compassionate and flexible with an entrepreneurship mind that make Shakes the top collaborative design firm!
Graphic Design Review from Jérôme Berlingin
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with Shakes on several projects and they have exceeded expectations every single time. Their creative vision is nothing short of inspiring and they have an incredible ability to translate ideas into stunning design that capture the very essence of our brand. What sets them apart is their professionalism and attention to detail. Deadlines are always met and communication is effortless. They are very receptive to feedback and always make sure the final result is exactly what I envisioned or more often than not better that what I envisioned. I highly recommend them to anyone. They are truly a powerhouse of talent, dedication and innovation.

They managed the entire process seamlessly, including the careful migration of all our content from the old site. The transition was smooth, handled with responsibility. The new design is modern, user-friendly, and truly reflects our vision for the business. Communication window was always left open throughout the process, and any questions we had were addressed right-a-way.

Worked with Francesco for the last year and have had a very pleasant experience. Francesco and his team are extremely professional, and after an initial brief could independently managed our digital advertising on Facebook and Google Ads with very little direction from us.We got weekly updates on our ROI, acquisition costs and very much in control of our ad spend the entire time. We got better results than we could ever do by ourselves. Would highly recommend to try out Digital Nomads.
ipulse design's Review Sourced from Google
We chose to work with Francesco because he stood out from the rest of his competitors through his ability to make a complex service simple to understand. He has become a valued partner through the political unrest and Covid 19 lockdowns.

Studio Lumen Reviews & Testimonials
Chris Charlton's Review Sourced from Google
Used Studio Lumen for a series of headshots. They set up in our office and did a great job. Their team was interacting with staff at a variety of levels including executives. They were able to keep things moving efficiently and I genuinely think the team had fun going through the process. The photos themselves are excellent and captured a fresh look. I find the corporate headshot look can get stale and a bit cliche. Appreciate their creativity and quality of work. From a personal perspective I highly recommend.
Zoe Erickson's Review Sourced from Google
We have worked with Studio Lumen numerous times over the past few years, and they have consistently delivered high-quality, well-produced videos for us. The entire team is a pleasure to work with, even after long hours—accommodating, professional, and flexible when it comes to making changes on the fly. Their attention to detail is outstanding, and we are always happy with the final product. Highly recommend!
Olivia McMurray's Review Sourced from Google
I had an excellent experience getting headshots done in-studio! The email communication every step of the way was clear and helpful, and the proof selection site was super easy to use. On the shoot day Jean-Marc was very personable and engaging which made it easy to get good natural expressions. He was also very efficient as I had 4 different shirt/uniform variations I wanted to try, and he also tried a different lighting setup at the end which resulted in one of my favorite photos from the day. Easy 5-star rating!

Jade Carr's Review Sourced from Google
I've worked with Outsauce Media on two shoots so far - one for a personal training photoshoot and another for a dance workshop in a studio - and both experiences have been excellent.He is not only professional but easy to work with, but also genuinely creative. He took time to understand my vision, but what really stood out was how he went above and beyond by suggesting shots I hadn't even thought of. Those extras ended up giving me new content, which was a huge bonus for my brand.The final photos and video looked incredible and really helped me elevate how I present my business. I'll definitely continue working with Outsauce Media for all my future content needs. Highly recommend!
Josh Kearney's Review Sourced from Google
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Trent is an absolute professional from start to finish. His creative direction is second to none, and he made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Before the shoot, Trent set up a detailed Pinterest board to ensure we were completely aligned on the vision, which made the day run effortlessly and allowed us to execute everything exactly as planned.The turnaround time for the photos was incredibly quick, and the results were phenomenal—beyond what I could have hoped for!I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Trent again for future projects. If you’re looking for someone who’s creative, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what they do, Trent is your guy. Highly recommend!

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 |
