For the biographical sports drama Unstoppable (2024), the studio contributed invisible effects, digital face replacement and limb removal. Its work on Flight Risk (2025) included aerial action visual effects. On Netflix’s The Rip (2026), Gneiss Stuff served as a primary visual effects vendor, delivering approximately 500 shots involving digital pyrotechnics, muzzle flashes and virtual production blending.
