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.

VFX Compositing from Fury Road to Aquaman to Game of Thrones
Here is how this works in practice. VFX compositing in Australia is anchored by a roster that has shaped some of the most VFX-heavy films and series of the past two decades: Iloura Melbourne carried Mad Max: Fury Road through to its 2015 VFX Oscar nomination (film won 6 Oscars overall) before its acquisition by Method Studios in 2017; Rising Sun Pictures Adelaide has won multiple Game of Thrones VFX Emmys alongside Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife credits; Animal Logic Sydney and Vancouver produced The Lego Movie (2014), The Lego Batman Movie (2017), Peter Rabbit, Astro Boy, and Happy Feet (Miller 2006 Best Animated Feature Oscar); ALT.VFX Brisbane took an Aquaman VFX Emmy; and Method Studios Australia (now Company 3), Cutting Edge, Heckler, White Chocolate, and Range Films round out the depth.
Comp runs in Foundry Nuke and NukeX, DaVinci Resolve Fusion from Black Magic Design (Auckland-founded, Australian/NZ-headquartered), and Adobe After Effects on commercial work, all on full ACES pipelines.
Here is the short of it. Compositors integrate plates with CGI from Maya, Houdini, Arnold, V-Ray, RenderMan, and Karma renderers, with EXR multichannel passes (RGB, mattes, normals, position, motion vectors, depth, AOVs) handed back from Animal Logic, Iloura/Method, Rising Sun, and ALT.VFX render farms.
Here is the breakdown. Cloud render scales on AWS Sydney (ap-southeast-2 since 2012), AWS Melbourne (2023), Azure Australia East and Southeast, and Google Cloud Sydney and Melbourne — all under Privacy Act 1988 and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme via OAIC.
Cross-border joint work ships shots to ILM LA, Weta FX Wellington (Avatar: The Way of Water 2022), and DNEG (LA + Vancouver + London + Mumbai) via the 12-hour Qantas LA-SYD overnight, with Asian time-zone overnight turn standard. Final composites deliver at ACES, DCI-P3 cinema, Rec.709 broadcast, and HDR PQ Rec.2020 for streaming masters across Stan, Binge, Netflix AU, Disney+ AU, Apple TV+ AU, and Amazon Prime AU.
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.
