Visual Effects (VFX)
Soundfirm recently opened a VFX department specifically designed to offer high end performance for local films. Using industry standard software such as Nuke, Flame, Maya and Unity at our core, our team also leverages cutting edge technology such as Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Our efficient, targeted, and versatile approach, allows us to achieve the best possible results, while remaining budget conscious to your project.
Find your camera angles and get your coverage in a virtual environment before you arrive on set, using real-world scales, lenses, and camera body information.
Our team can work with your crew to ensure that your VFX are shot in the most effective way possible, maximising your result without bloating the budget.
Walk down the hallway and have a chat with the VFX team while looking at your edit or full-res media. Want to see it projected in a colour calibrated theatre? We can do that too.

Our facilities have earned the respect of many well-known directors:
The new set-up at Soundfirm is a godsend. Not just the greatest, latest sound facilities but editing, online, grading, Avid to theatre connections, conforming and VFX, all under the one roof. Talk about convenient!Fred Schepisi (Director: Words & Pictures)
The post on Kill Me Three Times resulted in a seamless, fluid and immensely creative post-production experience. I can't wait to work with them again.Kriv Stenders (Director: Kill Me Three Times)
Working at Soundfirm on Looking for Grace was fabulous. They handled the whole of the post-production... It was wonderful having a whole team in the one building making the film with us. Sue Brooks (Director: Looking for Grace)
We went to Soundfirm for all the post on our feature film H Is For Happiness. You know you are in good hands the second you walk into the building. The team are friendly, attentive and go above and beyond to realise your creative vision. You will very rarely, if at all, hear the word 'no' or the phrase 'it can’t be done'! The facility has state of the art equipment and keeps up with rigorous international standards and consistently produces technical excellence. And if this isn’t enough they are also dog friendly! I have already booked all our post requirements for my next two features with Soundfirm because they are that good - fact! John Sheedy (Director: H Is For Happiness)
