About Fancy House of Visual Effects
Fancy House of Visual Effects is a New York visual effects, animation and post-production studio working across advertising, episodic television, feature films and immersive experiences. Founded in late 2021 and publicly launched in January 2022, the studio developed in strategic alliance with Goldcrest Post, combining a dedicated physical production base with a network of remote artists.
Its work spans full-lifecycle 2D and 3D visual effects, from on-set supervision and technical consultation through compositing and final finishing. Capabilities include CG characters and creatures, digital environments, modeling, texturing, lighting and animation, alongside previs and postvis. Flame and Nuke support compositing, cleanup and beauty retouching, while its experiential practice extends into large-format video installations and immersive media design.
Work across screens and spaces
One of the studio's early projects was Georgia O'Keeffe: One Hundred Flowers, a 40-minute immersive exhibition developed with RadicalMedia for Illuminarium venues in Atlanta and Las Vegas. Fancy served as its sole visual effects and experience design provider, applying its image-making capabilities to an exhibition environment.
Its commercial portfolio includes campaigns for Microsoft, Samsung, Nike, ServiceNow, Optimum Business and FedEx. For FedEx's Where Now Meets Next campaign featuring Derrick Henry, the studio created animated emoji imagery and compositing in collaboration with BBDO New York and Biscuit Filmworks. It also supplied visual effects and finishing for Wells Fargo's Be a 2%er campaign featuring Steve Martin and Martin Short.
Long-form work includes the Starz series Power Book IV: Force and director Tyler Chipman's independent supernatural feature The Shade. For the latter, Fancy delivered 2D and 3D visual effects alongside Goldcrest's sound, color and editorial finishing work.
Through its collaboration with Goldcrest Post, the studio can offer packaged post-production encompassing visual effects, offline editorial, dailies, color grading, sound design and audio mixing. This arrangement connects its specialist effects work with broader finishing and delivery services.
