About Baked Studios
Baked Studios is an American boutique visual effects and animation company working across feature films, scripted television, streaming series, advertising and music videos. Founded in 2005, the independent, artist-owned studio combines invisible visual effects with 3D animation, motion design and color finishing. Its production presence spans California and New York, with an additional production hub in Atlanta.
The studio began operating as Baked Goods, later credited its work as Baked FX, and subsequently adopted the Baked Studios name. Its work encompasses both subtle image manipulation and fully digital imagery, bringing together effects supervision, asset creation, compositing and finishing.
Visual effects and animation
Invisible effects form a central part of the studio's practice. Its capabilities include blue- and green-screen integration, digital environment creation, set extensions, split screens and rig removal. Beauty work and cosmetic retouching extend to digital aging and de-aging, digital prosthetics and seamless prosthetic integration. These techniques support projects that require substantial image changes while retaining a photographic appearance.
Alongside this work, Baked Studios creates photorealistic CG characters and creatures, 3D models and animated assets. Its motion design offering includes main titles, theatrical branding and logo redesigns. Color grading and digital intermediate finishing complement its effects and animation services, while on-set supervision and pre-production technical planning support the production process before footage reaches post-production.
Film, television and brand work
The studio's portfolio includes effects contributions to large-scale theatrical releases, independent features and episodic productions. Its commercial work also extends to major studio identity projects. In 2021, Baked collaborated with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on a refreshed motion picture logo, replacing historical lion footage with a fully CGI, photorealistic rendition of Leo the Lion.
Baked describes an artist-centric hybrid production model that connects its teams through a distributed pipeline. This approach combines studio infrastructure with cloud-connected collaboration, supporting work across its production locations.
