About Lamppost VFX
Lamppost VFX is an independent visual effects, 3D animation and full post-production studio based in Barcelona, Spain. It creates work for national and international feature films, episodic streaming television and commercial advertising, combining digital image creation with editing, sound and finishing services.
The studio supports productions from early script development through final delivery. Its creative work begins with concept design and pre-visualization, helping establish the appearance and construction of effects sequences before filming. On-set VFX supervision connects those plans with production, while modeling and digital asset creation provide the foundations for subsequent animation, rendering and compositing.
Visual effects and animation
Lamppost’s capabilities span photorealistic CG environments, digital matte painting, character and creature animation, and crowd simulation. Its dynamic effects work includes water, smoke, fire and destruction. Digital compositing brings these elements together, while invisible effects handle image clean-up and enhancements that support a scene without drawing attention to the intervention. The studio also offers virtual production setups.
Its portfolio includes contributions to streaming productions such as Bird Box Barcelona, Society of the Snow, ¡García!, Alma and El inocente. Its feature-film work also includes Mediterráneo, La cima, Love Gets a Room, The Kill Team and Down a Dark Hall. For El refugio atómico, its work encompasses interface design, motion graphics and VFX sequences, illustrating a scope that extends beyond photographic effects into designed screen imagery.
Post-production and finishing
Alongside visual effects, the studio offers offline and online editing, color grading with 4K projection screening, sound design, audio editing, and final mastering and finishing. These capabilities allow creative image work and final post-production to be handled within the same studio. Its combination of effects production and finishing supports projects requiring both digitally constructed imagery and the preparation of completed picture and sound for delivery.
