Carousel Studio

Carousel Studio is a boutique visual-effects, 3D character-animation, and technology-driven filmmaking studio working across feature films, episodic television, and advertising. Founded around 2025, it brings together senior VFX practitioners with experience at major international facilities and positions itself as an agile production partner for directors, producers, and global studios.

The studio collaborates from early development through final delivery, supporting projects with concept art, production design, previsualization, on-set VFX supervision, compositing, and image finishing. Its work spans both creative development and the technical production processes needed to deliver complex cinematic visuals.

• Photorealistic digital environments and look development
• FX simulation for fire, water, smoke, explosions, destruction, hair, and cloth

Production technology

Carousel combines established VFX tools and practices—including node-based compositing, Houdini-based simulation, environment construction, and character animation—with generative-AI and machine-learning workflows. Its production-driven tools use custom LoRAs, ControlNets, and IP-Adapters to help automate repetitive technical work, accelerate look development, and support artists and compositors working at feature-film scale.

The company maintains a physical production presence in Spain, with its work structured to support both traditional film production and real-time or virtual-production workflows. Its active vendor work includes visual effects for The Wrecking Crew and Klara and the Sun, alongside other unannounced feature-film projects.

Carousel Studio describes its approach as collaborative and director-focused, aiming to contribute from the earliest visual exploration through final-pixel delivery.
