About ASTATICA
ASTATICA is an independent Malaysian visual effects, animation and creative production studio based in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Founded in September 2013, it combines filmmaking and digital image production for advertising, broadcast, entertainment and experiential media. Its work spans live-action commercials, animated brand campaigns, promotional films, broadcast identities and large-format digital displays.
The studio brings creative development, production and post-production into a unified pipeline. Projects can begin with script ideation, concept design, storyboarding and pre-visualization, then progress through directing, on-set production, animation, compositing and final delivery. This integrated approach supports campaigns that combine filmed performances, designed environments, animated characters and product imagery.
Animation and visual effects
ASTATICA produces both 2D and 3D animation, with capabilities covering character modeling, texturing, rigging, lighting and rendering. Its visual effects work includes tracking and matchmoving, chroma keying, rotoscoping, wire removal, matte painting and dynamic simulations of liquids, smoke, fire, cloth and destruction. Motion graphics and broadcast design extend to channel identities, programme packaging, title sequences, network promos and kinetic typography.
The studio also develops anamorphic 3D digital-out-of-home content and immersive experiences. Examples include the TUMI Tegra-Lite billboard at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and Hartalega’s NGX virtual plant tour, demonstrating applications beyond conventional television and online commercials.
Finishing and campaign work
Post-production services encompass offline editing, conform preparation, colour grading, look development and Autodesk Flame compositing and finishing. The studio also provides detailed skin and hair retouching and prepares masters for broadcast and digital delivery requirements.
Its portfolio includes Malaysian promotional campaigns for Netflix’s Extraction 2 and Black Knight, Yamaha’s Y16ZR – Light Years Ahead, and CGI product work for Samsonite, Nestlé and TTRacing. Working with advertising agencies and production partners across Southeast Asia, ASTATICA serves campaigns in sectors including automotive, consumer technology, beverages, travel luggage, healthcare and broadcast media.
