How It Works
1. Brief
Tell us about your project — what you are making, what you need, and your timeline. A quick call or a few messages is usually enough to get started.
2. Quote
You get a clear, fixed-price quote based on the scope. No surprises, no hourly billing that spirals — you know the cost before we start.
3. Production
We get to work. You see progress at key stages and give feedback along the way. Two rounds of revisions are included as standard.
4. Delivery
Final files delivered in your required formats, ready to use. Quick turnaround as standard — indie productions do not have months to wait.
Why Canimagine FX
Supervision First
VFX shots are won or lost on set. We supervise from the shoot — plates, reference, data capture — then track and matchmove in SynthEyes, including LiDAR-based tracking that locks CG to real environments.
Houdini & Boris FX Specialists
Houdini — the tool behind Dune, Blade Runner 2049 and Game of Thrones — is our primary FX tool, backed by the Boris FX finishing suite: Silhouette for roto and paint, Mocha Pro for planar tracking.
Filmmaker First
Canimagine FX was founded by a filmmaker. Every shot is approached as storytelling, not just a technical exercise — the effect serves the film.
Direct Relationship
You work directly with the studio founder and VFX supervisor — not an account manager. One point of contact from brief to delivery.
Built for Independents
The studio exists to serve productions and creators who need professional VFX without studio-level budgets. An engineered pipeline with custom Python tools keeps quality high and budgets efficient.
