SCENE 01 / VISUAL EFFECTS COMPOSITING
Visual Effects Compositing
Seamless visual effects integration through professional compositing, creating invisible effects that enhance storytelling.
Visual effects compositing layers multiple image elements into seamless final frames, combining live-action footage with CGI, matte paintings, particle effects, and other digital elements. Compositing artists use color matching, lighting integration, and perspective alignment to create believable images that serve the story.
We connect you with VFX compositing artists and facilities equipped to deliver the visual complexity your project demands. Our team coordinates shot turnover, review sessions, and final delivery to ensure your composite shots are technically flawless and visually indistinguishable from practically captured footage.

Nuke and Fusion compositing through Canada's Oscar-winning VFX bench
Here is how the work lines up. Canada is one of the world's largest VFX hubs. Compositing is delivered through a deep senior bench: DNEG Vancouver / Toronto / Montreal (Oscar 2024 Best Visual Effects for Dune Part Two, Oscar 2022 Best Visual Effects for Dune, plus Tenet, Avatar series, Interstellar, Ex Machina, Blade Runner 2049), Industrial Light & Magic Vancouver (Star Wars, the Marvel slate, Ahsoka, The Mandalorian), Pixomondo Toronto and Vancouver (Star Trek Discovery and Strange New Worlds, Halo, Emmy-winning Game of Thrones work, plus the flagship Canadian LED virtual-production stage The Vol Toronto), Method Studios Vancouver, Image Engine Vancouver (District 9, Lost in Space, Twisters), Hybride Quebec / Montreal (Star Wars, The Mandalorian, Hunger Games), Rodeo FX Montreal (Stranger Things, Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon), MELS VFX Montreal, SpinVFX Toronto (Game of Thrones, The Boys), Folks Toronto, Mavericks VFX Toronto, Mr.
X / Wolfe Productions Toronto, and Outpost VFX Toronto / Vancouver. Compositing supervisors in this lineage attend set work at locations across the Rockies, Vancouver Island, Pacific Northwest, Northern Ontario, the Quebec hinterland, the Maritimes, and the Yukon to ensure plate photography, HDRI capture, tracking-marker placement, and lens-distortion solves meet the compositing brief.
Pipelines run Foundry Nuke for high-end cinema and series work that conforms ACES-linear with the downstream colour bay, Blackmagic Fusion for Resolve-native finishing, Adobe After Effects for motion-graphics-heavy commercial composites, and Autodesk Flame on the senior commercial-and-broadcast finishing seats. Multi-channel green-screen keying handles motion blur, fine hair, and semi-transparent elements common of Star Wars / Marvel / Star Trek / Avatar feature-and-series briefs, with Primatte, Keylight, and IBK-paired techniques deployed against ARRIRAW, RED R3D, Sony Venice X-OCN, and Blackmagic RAW originals at 4K, 6K, and 8K resolution.
Motion tracking runs 3DEqualizer and PFTrack for cinema camera-tracked shots, with SynthEyes covering broadcast-and-commercial volumes. LED virtual-production composites — particularly the Pixomondo Toronto The Vol stage workflow shaped on Star Trek Discovery — integrate Unreal Engine 5 in-camera renders with downstream Nuke comp. Linear ACES pipelines with full HDR (Dolby Vision, HDR10) delivery are standard, with finals shipped as DPX or EXR sequences or ProRes 4444 masters into Tattersall, MELS Post, or the appointed downstream finishing facility; CMF (Canada Media Fund) and Telefilm Canada finance milestones are tracked through delivery, alongside ACTRA, DGC, and IATSE compliance on the master.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What compositing software do you use?
We primarily use Nuke for high-end film and television work, along with After Effects for motion graphics-heavy projects. Our team is also proficient in Fusion and Flame. We select the best tool based on project requirements and can accommodate specific pipeline needs.
Can you match the look of existing footage?
Yes, color matching and seamless integration is fundamental to our work. We carefully analyze the original photography including grain, color, lighting, and lens characteristics to ensure all composited elements blend perfectly with the source material.
How do you handle complex green screen shots?
We use advanced keying techniques including multi-channel keying, edge processing, and spill suppression. For challenging shots with motion blur, fine hair detail, or semi-transparent elements, we combine automated tools with detailed manual refinement to achieve clean results.
What resolution and format can you work with?
We work with all professional formats from HD through 8K and beyond. Our pipeline handles RAW camera formats, high bit-depth files, and HDR workflows. We deliver in whatever format your project requires, from DPX sequences to ProRes masters.
