Pre-Production & Virtual Production

We provide a wide range of pre-production services including:

  • Storyboarding

  • Concept Development

  • Previsualization (Previs) & PostVis

  • Virtual Production Planning

On-premise, our facility features a 28' x 20' x 10' Vicon motion capture stage and a 54-camera photogrammetry/gaussian splat rig, designed for high-fidelity scans of talent or props. These tools allow us to generate rapid asset builds or capture precise datasets that can be used for training AI models such as LORAs — giving you deeper control over generative AI workflows.

Our Unreal-powered virtual production pipeline enables real-time Previs creation, mocap-to-AI workflows, and the flexibility to iterate faster with maximum creative freedom.

Traditional VFX Services

Since 2013, our experienced VFX team has delivered high-end visuals across features, episodics, and commercials. We specialize in:

  • 3D crowd simulations

  • Creature animation & digital doubles

  • Magical and destruction FX (fire, smoke, explosions)

  • Set extensions & environment creation

  • Plate cleanup & compositing for vehicle and greenscreen shots

We also provide on-set supervision and pre-production VFX breakdowns and budgeting to ensure seamless integration from shoot to post.

Volumetric Capture & Animated Gaussian Splats

At the heart of our studio is a cutting-edge 54-camera 4D video/photogrammetry rig, purpose-built for volumetric capture. What makes our system unique is its ability to generate animated Gaussian splats — a lightweight, neural point cloud representation of actors or props that captures both geometry and surface detail in motion.

These splats can be:

  • Re-lit in real-time or in post using custom lighting setups

  • Integrated seamlessly into Unreal Engine virtual production environments

  • Used for traditional VFX comp workflows, replacing green screen or stand-in assets

  • Leveraged as training data for AI models such as LORAs or diffusion-based face/body doubles

This 4D capture system enables fast, high-fidelity digital doubles and performance capture without the overhead of full mesh-based CG pipelines — dramatically reducing turnaround time and cost, while maintaining cinematic quality.

Whether you're visualizing a scene before shooting, capturing a one-of-a-kind performance, or building an AI-driven workflow, our volumetric pipeline gives you an unprecedented level of creative control and technical flexibility.

AI Integration & Machine Learning Pipelines

At DFFX, we’re embracing the future of content creation. Our evolving AI/ML toolset enhances workflows in:

  • Face replacements

  • Digital doubles

  • AI-driven beauty work

We’re committed to responsible and ethical use of AI, always guided by creativity and collaboration.

Let's Build Something Together

Whether you're producing a commercial, feature film, episodic series, or exploring the new frontier of AI-generated content, DFFX is ready to be your creative partner. From storyboards to final pixels — or training data to real-time renders — we’d love to hear how we can support your next project.
