About Future House Studios
Future House Studios is a digital production studio based in Pleasant Grove, Utah, working across character animation, game development, visual effects, and immersive media. Founded in 2020, the company produces content for games, film, television, advertising, virtual concerts, and location-based entertainment. Its work combines narrative development with real-time production for both commissioned projects and original intellectual property.
The studio provides animation and rigging for stylized and photorealistic characters, including facial rigs, creature setups, and in-game animation cycles. Its game development services span concept development, systems design, technical art, gameplay programming, and engine integration. For screen productions, its capabilities include virtual production supervision, digital environments, set extensions, rotoscoping, and compositing. It also develops augmented reality experiences and interactive attractions involving motion-synchronized visuals and hardware integration.
Selected production work
For Apple TV+'s Yo Gabba GabbaLand!, the studio served as the primary post-production visual effects house, delivering nearly 1,200 shots that combined live actors with Unreal Engine virtual environments. Its contribution included on-set virtual production supervision, green-screen extractions, compositing, and 2D and 3D set extensions.
On Niantic's Peridot, Future House Studios provided animation co-development, character rigging, modeling, and real-time effects. For the location-based VR attraction Transformers: Decepticon Invasion, its work included ride integration concepts, storyboards, level gray-boxing, and modeling, rigging, and animation for more than 45 characters. The studio has also contributed to game trailers, documentary animation, interactive VR music experiences, and virtual concert avatars.
Original interactive experiences
Alongside client production, the company develops and publishes Swords!, also known as Swords of Secret, a mobile augmented reality role-playing game for iOS and Android. The project connects digital gameplay with real-world exploration and community treasure hunts in Utah. This combination of original game development, animation production, and immersive entertainment reflects the studio's work across screen-based storytelling and experiences tied to physical places.
