Visual Effects

Synctum offers a full range of vfx services including Sky Replacements, Set Extensions, Matte Paintings, Paint Outs, Rotoscoping, CGI Integration, Compositing, and Simulations, which transform ordinary scenes into extraordinary visual experiences. By skillfully replacing skies and expanding sets, we can shift the tone of a shot and create immersive environments that may be difficult to capture in reality. Intricate matte paintings and seamless CGI integration enhance storytelling by blending live-action with computer-generated elements. Much of this work involves hidden visual effects, meticulously crafted to ensure a natural integration into the final product. Our techniques allow us to remove unwanted elements, isolate subjects, and deliver polished visuals that transport audiences into captivating, believable worlds.

Hidden Visual Effects

Our Sky Replacements, Set Extensions, Matte Paintings, Paint Outs, and Rotoscoping services transform ordinary scenes into extraordinary visual experiences. By replacing skies, we can shift the entire tone of a shot—turning day into night or vice versa—and create dramatic settings, from golden sunsets to stormy clouds, that align with the story’s mood. Our set extensions seamlessly expand physical sets, blending CGI elements with real footage to create vast landscapes, detailed cityscapes, or futuristic worlds. With our intricate matte paintings, we enhance or entirely redesign backgrounds, crafting scenes that would be challenging or impossible to capture on location. Additionally, our paint outs and rotoscoping techniques allow us to remove unwanted elements or isolate subjects, ensuring a clean and polished final product. This combination of techniques enables us to build immersive, visually stunning worlds that elevate storytelling and transport audiences to new realities.

Compositing & CGI Integration

Our Compositing & CGI Integration services seamlessly blend live-action footage with CGI elements, creating visually cohesive scenes that elevate storytelling. With expert compositing, we integrate 3D models, characters, and effects into real-world settings, achieving realistic lighting, shading, and depth. Whether enhancing film sequences, building complex environments, or adding subtle visual effects, our team ensures each CGI element aligns flawlessly with the scene. This process is ideal for films, commercials, and projects requiring high-quality, believable visual effects, enabling clients to visualize the impossible and bring intricate, imaginative worlds to life.

Simulations

Our Simulations encompass a wide range of dynamic effects designed to enhance realism and bring powerful visuals to any project. We specialise in creating lifelike particle effects like smoke, fire, and dust, as well as fluid simulations for realistic water, liquids, and explosions. Our cloth, hair and fur simulations add natural movement to characters, while ragdoll simulations and soft and hard body physics enable realistic, responsive motion in characters and objects. Destruction simulations allow for intricate, physics-based breaking, crumbling, and collisions for action-packed scenes. Whether adding environmental elements or crafting complex scenes from scratch, our VFX simulations offer unparalleled depth and texture, immersing audiences in stunning, authentic visual landscapes.
