About Ghost VFX

Ghost VFX is an international visual effects studio serving feature films, episodic television, streaming productions, interactive entertainment and advertising. Founded in Copenhagen in 1999, it has grown into a production network spanning North America, Europe and Asia. Its work combines computer animation, creature and character development, digital environments, dynamic simulation and photorealistic compositing.

The studio supports productions from early planning through final delivery. Its production and supervision services include shot breakdowns, bidding, on-set visual effects supervision, concept art and previsualization. Asset development covers sculpting, texturing, rigging, skinning and animation, alongside hard-surface modeling for vehicles and spacecraft. Environmental and effects work includes matte painting, water, fire, smoke, atmospheric effects and destruction.

Production capabilities

Ghost VFX also provides invisible effects and digital beauty work, including cosmetic retouching, skin cleanup and age adjustments. Its compositing services encompass blue- and green-screen integration, deep compositing, rotoscoping, camera tracking, matchmoving and paint cleanup. Virtual production capabilities include real-time asset preparation, LED volume integration and camera tracker alignment, with game-engine technology forming part of its wider production toolkit.

The studio's screen portfolio includes work across the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises, alongside productions such as Black Panther, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Fast X, Shadow and Bone, For All Mankind and Troll. Its markets also include commercials, cinematic trailers, character cutscenes and game-engine assets.

Development of the studio

Picture Shop acquired Ghost VFX in January 2020. Later that year, Streamland Media consolidated visual effects operations under the Ghost VFX brand, bringing together Ghost VFX, Picture Shop VFX and FarmFX. The resulting network expanded its ability to support international film and television production, followed by further growth in Canada and India. Ghost VFX continues to operate as a distinct visual effects brand within Streamland Media's wider post-production group.
