Base FX

Base FX is a visual effects and animation company founded in Beijing in 2006 by director and producer Christopher Bremble. Operating within Base Media Technology Group, it serves Hollywood and Chinese film productions as well as premium television and streaming series. Its work spans creature animation, digital environments, simulations and compositing, supported by capabilities extending from early visual development through final visual effects production.

The company grew from the creative team assembled for Bremble’s 2005 film Deep Rescue. That initial production provided the foundation for a commercial studio serving international television and feature-film clients. Base FX subsequently expanded its production presence across China and into Malaysia, with a London studio opening in January 2026 to serve UK and European productions. It also maintains executive representation and client relations in Los Angeles.

Production capabilities

Base FX combines character and creature work with environment creation and complex effects simulation. Its specialties include photorealistic digital matte painting, set extensions, hard-surface modeling, fluid and destruction effects, and the integration of digital assets into live-action photography. Compositing, roto and preparation work support these services across feature and episodic projects.

The studio also offers concept art, visual design, supervision, pre-visualization, post-visualization and technical visualization. These capabilities support work at different stages of production, from developing a scene’s visual approach to planning and completing its effects. The London operation provides end-to-end concept and VFX services in direct pipeline collaboration with the company’s Asian facilities.

Film and episodic work

Its portfolio includes contributions to The Pacific, Boardwalk Empire, Black Sails, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Aquaman and Bumblebee. More recent reported projects include The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Thunderbolts*, Ironheart, Daredevil: Born Again, Sinners and Ne Zha 2. These productions reflect the studio’s involvement in international franchise filmmaking, Chinese cinema and episodic entertainment.
