Basilic Fly Studio

Basilic Fly Studio is an international visual effects and digital post-production company headquartered in Chennai, India. It creates visual effects for feature films, episodic television, streaming productions and commercial advertising, serving both Indian and international productions. Its work spans detailed image preparation and compositing through computer-generated environments, animation and effects simulation.

Founded by visual effects artist Balakrishnan R, also known as Bala, and co-founder Yogalakshmi, the business developed from a boutique team into a full-pipeline production company. Its development has included a shift from high-volume outsourced assignments toward end-to-end creative co-production, combining technical execution with supervision and production coordination.

Production capabilities

The studio's capabilities cover rotoscoping, digital paint and preparation, photorealistic compositing, camera tracking, matchmove and body tracking. Its computer graphics work includes digital environments, matte painting, creature and character animation, and procedural effects involving particles, fluids and dynamics.

Basilic Fly Studio also provides concept art, visual prototyping, previsualization and on-set VFX supervision. Layout and matchmoving integration, clean plate generation, 2D-to-3D conversion and cloud-enabled rendering support its post-production delivery. These services allow the company to contribute at multiple stages, from planning visual effects to integrating and delivering completed imagery.

International development

The company combines production operations in India with international client engagement, production coordination and creative oversight. Its network supports collaboration across film, television and advertising projects, with production and client-facing teams working across several markets.

The business incorporated in January 2016 and converted to public limited company status in May 2023. It completed an initial public offering on India's National Stock Exchange Emerge platform in September 2023.

In July 2024, Basilic Fly Studio acquired a 70% majority interest in One of Us through its UK subsidiary. One of Us continues to operate with its own creative brand and management. The relationship extends the group's creative capacity while retaining the acquired studio's distinct identity.
