Firebrand VFX

Firebrand VFX was a visual effects and post-production studio based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Established in 2021, it provided specialist shot preparation and compositing support for feature films, television, streaming productions and commercial projects. Its work centred on the detailed image preparation needed within larger visual effects pipelines.

The studio's capabilities included rotoscoping, digital paint, clean plate creation, wire and rig removal, and 2D compositing. It operated as a capacity partner for larger visual effects facilities and independent productions, supplying roto, paint and prep work alongside broader post-production support. This model connected a regional production team with projects handled by major VFX companies.

Firebrand's production work included roto and paint contributions to Wendell & Wild, Catherine Called Birdy, The Swimmers and The School for Good and Evil. Its subsequent credits included Secret Invasion, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, Seize Them! and Nautilus. The studio was also credited among the visual effects vendors contributing to Coyote vs. Acme. These contributions reflected its role as a specialist supplier within collaborative film and television production pipelines.

Developing creative employment in Yorkshire was an important part of the studio's founding purpose. It sought to create opportunities outside London's established visual effects hub, combining production services with the development of regional talent.

The business was initially incorporated as Lightforge VFX Limited in June 2021 and changed its legal name to Firebrand VFX Limited in August that year. Following an application for voluntary strike-off in March 2026, the company was dissolved on 9 June 2026. The studio is closed.
