Pre-Production & Virtual Production

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

  • Storyboarding

  • Concept Development

  • Previsualization (Previs) & PostVis

  • Virtual Production Planning

From early creative development through production planning, we help filmmakers design shots before cameras roll. Our on-site Vicon motion capture stage and Unreal-powered virtual production pipeline enable real-time previs, performance capture, and rapid iteration before moving into final VFX.

Visual Effects

At our core, we're visual effects artists. Since 2013, DFFX has delivered high-end VFX across feature films, episodic television, and commercials. We specialize in:

  • 3D Crowd Simulation

  • Digital Doubles

  • Character & Creature Animation

  • Magic & Supernatural FX

  • Fire, Smoke & Destruction

  • Set Extensions & Environments

  • Driving Comps

  • Greenscreen, Plate Cleanup & Invisible VFX

We also provide on-set VFX supervision, pre-production breakdowns, bidding, and budgeting—allowing us to support productions from initial planning through final delivery.

Volumetric Capture & Animated Gaussian Splats

Our custom 54-camera capture system creates high-fidelity volumetric performances and digital doubles without the overhead of a traditional mesh-based CG pipeline.

Using animated Gaussian splats, captured talent and props can be integrated into Unreal environments, relit, composited into traditional VFX shots, or used as precise training data for AI-driven workflows.

The result: faster asset creation, authentic captured performances, and greater flexibility across traditional VFX, virtual production, and AI.

AI Integration & Machine Learning Pipelines

We approach generative AI as another tool in the VFX pipeline—not a replacement for creative control. Our custom workflows combine traditional animation and VFX techniques with Unreal, motion capture, ComfyUI, and generative models, allowing our artists to maintain greater control over camera, performance, composition, and environment.

From AI-assisted digital doubles and face work to video-to-video transformation and integrating generated elements into production plates, our focus is on combining the speed of AI with the art direction and predictability of traditional VFX.

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.
