About Furious FX
Furious FX is an independent boutique visual effects and post-production studio based in Burbank, California. Established in 2004 by veterans of Cinesite Hollywood following that facility’s closure in 2003, the company creates effects for major studio features, independent films, episodic television and streaming productions. Its markets also include commercials and specialty theme park ridefilms.
The studio’s work spans photorealistic compositing, computer-generated assets and invisible effects. Its capabilities include integrating 2D and 3D imagery, extending sets and environments, creating digital vehicles and characters, and removing wires, rigs, reflections and production equipment. Screen, monitor and mobile phone inserts, cosmetic enhancement and beauty work are also part of its offering. Simulation work covers water, smoke, fire, sparks and debris.
Production capabilities
Furious FX provides supervision across pre-production, on-set photography and post-production, alongside previsualization and concept art. Its digital production services encompass modeling, rigging and animation, greenscreen and bluescreen compositing, split screens, paint work and cleanplate generation. The studio also offers digital intermediate and color grading support. Together, these services address both visible digital additions and the less conspicuous alterations used to refine photographed material.
Film and television work
Its feature-film portfolio includes Deadpool, The Greatest Showman, The Mummy, Ghostbusters, Spy, A Simple Favor and Underwater. Earlier credits include Spider-Man 2, Constantine, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Race to Witch Mountain, reflecting a history of work across action, fantasy, comedy and other film productions.
Television credits include Veep, Insecure, Fargo, Togetherness, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Welcome to Flatch. The company’s published history reports nearly 10,000 visual effects shots across more than 130 film and television projects. Its portfolio combines effects-heavy genre productions with projects requiring environment enhancement, compositing and other supporting visual work.
