Deluxe VFX

Deluxe VFX was the visual effects division of Deluxe Entertainment Services Group, bringing together creative businesses including Method Studios, Iloura, Atomic Fiction and Encore VFX. Its work encompassed feature film and episodic visual effects, alongside stereoscopic conversion and finishing capabilities within Deluxe’s creative operations.

The division’s capabilities included photorealistic creatures, digital environments, set extensions, compositing, hard-surface modeling and on-set visual effects supervision. Its production services spanned concept art, previs, look development, creature animation, simulation and stereo finishing. Productions were executed through the individual creative brands, whose credits and operating identities remained distinct.

Deluxe’s restructuring separated its distribution business from its creative businesses in 2020. The distribution business retained the Deluxe brand, while Company 3, Method Studios, Encore VFX and Stereo D were sold to Framestore in November 2020. This transaction ended Deluxe’s participation in visual effects production and brought the former creative businesses into a different ownership structure.
