Brewster Parsons

Brewster Parsons was a boutique visual effects, design and finishing studio founded in Venice, California, in 2007 by Executive Producer Darcy Parsons and visual effects artist Simon Brewster. Its work focused on commercial advertising and music videos, combining photorealistic visual effects, CGI and Autodesk Flame finishing. The studio also contributed visual effects and digital finishing to feature films.

The company's capabilities covered on-set visual effects supervision, 2D and 3D compositing, modeling, texturing, character animation and look development. Retouching, beauty work and digital matte painting complemented its effects work, while commercial finishing, color conform and master delivery supported the completion of advertising projects.

Selected work

Brewster Parsons provided visual effects for The Weeknd's Can't Feel My Face, directed by Grant Singer, and worked on RadioShack's 2014 Super Bowl commercial The Phone Call. Its advertising portfolio also included Beats by Dr. Dre's The Game Before the Game, Acura's Re-Re-Routed, Target campaigns and Royal Caribbean's Sea Trek. Feature-film work included All Good Things (2010), for which the report identifies visual effects and digital finishing contributions.

These projects reflected the studio's emphasis on commercial effects and finishing, spanning music-led productions, automotive advertising, consumer brands and travel campaigns. Its production offering brought together effects supervision, image creation and final image finishing within a boutique studio operation.

Company history

Brewster Parsons operated for approximately ten years. In September 2017, Darcy Parsons co-founded Kevin with Tim Davies and Sue Troyan and moved into that venture's executive leadership. Brewster Parsons subsequently wound down its standalone commercial operations and closed. Kevin operated as a distinct company; the shared founder and transition did not establish a continuation of Brewster Parsons under a new name.
