SCENE 01 / VISUAL EFFECTS COMPOSITING
Visual Effects Compositing
Seamless visual effects integration through professional compositing, creating invisible effects that enhance storytelling.
Here is how this works in practice. Visual effects compositing layers many 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.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with VFX compositing artists and facilities equipped to deliver the visual complexity your project demands. Our team sets up shot turnover, review sessions, and final delivery to make sure your composite shots are in tech flawless and visually indistinguishable from in use captured footage.

On Location
VFX compositing on Nuke at Pixomondo Frankfurt, Mackevision Stuttgart, and Rise Berlin
Here is how this works in practice. Our VFX compositing operation draws from Germany's Marvel-and-streaming-tier bench. Pixomondo Frankfurt (the firm behind Star Trek Discovery, Stranger Things, and Mandalorian VFX before being acquired by Sony Pictures Imageworks in 2022 — many VFX Emmys for Game of Thrones earlier), Mackevision Stuttgart (Game of Thrones Emmy-winning VFX across many seasons, acquired by Accenture in 2018), Trixter Munich (Marvel cosmetic VFX, Cinesite-owned since 2018), Rise Visual Effects Studios Berlin (Marvel and Star Wars VFX including Avengers Endgame and Spider-Man Far From Home), ScanlineVFX (founded Munich 1989, now LA-headquartered — Aquaman, 1917, and Game of Thrones VFX Emmys), Optical Art Berlin (boutique VFX), LavaLabs Hamburg, BUF Compagnie's Berlin branch, and Chimney Group Berlin.
Here is the short of it. Compositors work in Nuke (with NukeX Studio for team workflows), Fusion, Houdini for FX integration, Maya for 3D planning, Substance Painter for texture work, and Mocha Pro for planar tracking. Pipelines run on Threadripper render farms locally with AWS Frankfurt Region (eu-central-1, one of the largest European AWS hubs, operating since 2014) burst-render capacity under DSGVO data-residency rules. Contracting follows D-A-CH market norms at 19% MwSt VAT.
Here is the breakdown. Recent Academy-tier VFX compositing output has All Quiet on the Western Front (Berger 2022 — four Academy Awards including Best Global Feature, Best Cinematography for James Friend BSC, Best Production Design, and Volker Bertelmann's Best Original Score — with wide WWI trench-warfare VFX integration), Tár (Todd Field 2022. Berlin Philharmonic centerpiece, Florian Hoffmeister DP Best Cinematography Oscar nomination 2023), and Zone of Interest (Glazer 2023 — German co-production, Auschwitz-adjacent). Studio Babelsberg shoots Inglourious Basterds (Tarantino 2009. Christoph Waltz Best Supporting Actor Oscar), Cloud Atlas (Tykwer + Wachowskis 2012), Bridge of Spies (Spielberg 2015), and Queen's Gambit (Netflix 2020) all routed through the German VFX bench.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Streaming flagships Babylon Berlin (Tykwer 2017+ — Germany's most costly TV series ever produced. This has steady 1920s-Berlin period VFX) and Dark (Netflix 2017-2020) anchor the heavy slate. Talent pipeline from Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg Ludwigsburg Animationsinstitut (the Pixar, ILM, DreamWorks feeder school), Hochschule Mannheim Animation, Hochschule für Künste Bremen, and KHM Köln. Cross-border top VFX routes to DNEG, ILM, or Weta via Lufthansa MUC/FRA-LAX. Final composites integrate at ARRI Media Munich and The studio Potsdam color and conform suites for DCP authoring (Berlinale, Filmfest München) and IMF streaming masters.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What compositing software do you use?
Here is the breakdown. 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 needs and can accommodate specific pipeline needs.
Can you match the look of existing footage?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Yes, color matching and seamless integration is fundamental to our work. We with care analyze the original photography including grain, color, lighting, and lens traits to make sure all composited elements blend perfectly with the source material.
How do you handle complex green screen shots?
Here is how the picture comes together. 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 pro 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 needs, from DPX sequences to ProRes masters.
