Visual Effects

Boutique scale. Blockbuster thinking.

At Watchpost, we see visual effects as a storytelling tool — not just a technical add-on. Whether we’re cleaning up a frame, stitching scenes together, or building whole environments from scratch, our VFX team leads with narrative and creative intent.

From seamless screen replacements, and plate cleanups to more involved rotoscoping, compositing, and 3D environment builds, we deliver high-end visuals that blend beautifully — always in service of the story.

As a boutique studio, we pride ourselves on being agile, collaborative, and punchy. We work fast, we work smart, and we bring the kind of creative insight that only comes from being embedded in the entire production and post journey.

HOW WE DO IT

  • 🧽 Cleanup & Integration

    We break down your message and visualise it with sharp scripting and detailed boards.

  • 🪄 Rotoscoping & Advanced Compositing

    Multi-layered, frame-accurate work that integrates effects naturally into live action, without calling attention to the technique.

  • 🌍 3D Environments & Match Moving

    Creating or enhancing worlds with subtle, stylised or photoreal environments — built to match your grade, lensing, and lighting.

  • 🎨 Creative VFX Direction

    Collaborating from script to post including on-set VFX Supervision, to design bespoke visual moments that can save budget and feel authored, not automated.

The Run - Feature Film

s part of our comprehensive post-production services on the high-concept dystopian thriller The Run, Watchpost delivered over 100 visual effects shots — each one crafted to serve the story and enhance the film’s stark, atmospheric world.

Our VFX work ranged from screen replacements, object and crew removals, and sky enhancements, to more advanced world building, compositing, and 3D character modelling. Whether the brief called for subtle realism or stylised grit, we delivered clean, seamless visuals that elevated each frame.

Working hand-in-glove with the edit, grade, and online teams, our artists integrated effortlessly into a complex finishing workflow — meeting tight deadlines, adapting across review rounds, and going above and beyond to help shape the final look and feel of the film.

This project is a perfect example of how Watchpost’s boutique VFX offering can scale to meet the demands of long-form narrative work — without sacrificing precision, agility, or creative integrity.

WHY WATCHPOST?

We’re not a big VFX factory — and that’s the point. Our boutique scale means we’re embedded in the creative conversation, not bolted on at the end. We move fast, solve problems before they become expensive, and collaborate directly with directors, producers, and editors to find the smartest, cleanest, and most impactful solution.

We’ve delivered VFX for commercials, branded content, broadcast series, and feature documentaries — everything from quick cleanups to fully stylised hero shots. If you need a partner who cares about the frame as much as the pipeline, Watchpost delivers.
