Krow VFX

Krow VFX is a Canadian visual effects studio based in St. Catharines, Ontario, working across feature films, episodic television, streaming series and commercial productions. Its work combines digital environments, computer-generated characters and assets, crowd effects and compositing for live-action productions.

The company originated as the visual effects department of Keyframe Digital Productions, an animation and digital effects business established in 1997. As its live-action portfolio expanded, Krow VFX developed into a dedicated visual effects brand and corporate entity, while Keyframe continued its animation and character production work. That history connects the studio to an earlier production business without establishing 1997 as the founding date of the separate Krow entity.

Visual effects capabilities

The studio creates set extensions and digital locations, using environment replacement, matte painting and world-building to extend filmed settings. Its character and asset work includes modeling, rigging and 3D animation, alongside crowd duplication, audience replacement and digital population work.

Krow also provides previs, postvis and on-set visual effects supervision, supporting projects before and during photography as well as through digital compositing and shot finishing. Technical pipeline development forms part of its production services.

Its reported portfolio spans contemporary drama, science fiction, supernatural television and feature production. The studio delivers work for productions associated with Netflix, NBCUniversal and Amazon MGM Studios, while maintaining its local creative operations in Ontario.
