Lexhag Visual Effects

Lexhag Visual Effects is an independent British visual effects and virtual production studio founded in 2009 by VFX Supervisor Alexis Haggar. Working across high-end television, feature films, streaming productions and commercials, it combines practical filmmaking techniques with digital effects to develop shots around the needs of a story.

The company originally operated in Soho, London, and expanded into Norfolk in 2019. Its approach brings visual effects into pre-production, helping filmmakers plan how sequences will be captured before principal photography begins. This can involve bespoke camera rigs, practical effects, virtual production setups and physical or digital prototypes, alongside planning for subsequent post-production work.

From planning to final images

Lexhag's work spans previsualization, technical visualization and postvisualization, on-set supervision, reference photography and production data capture. Its digital capabilities include compositing, CG modelling, rotomation, matchmoving, particle simulations, digital matte painting, environment creation, cleanup and set extensions. These services support both effects-driven sequences and work that extends or modifies photographed environments.

Virtual production services include LED volume shooting supervision, rear-projection content creation, markerless camera and talent tracking, and live multi-camera monitoring. The studio also develops camera-array capture and plate-generation workflows, connecting location photography with the imagery required for controlled-stage production. Its Special DI offering encompasses stitched plates, sky-dome imagery, colour balancing, stabilization and delivery for playback.

Practical experimentation

Physical and digital effects are developed together through experimental shot work, practical rigging, robotics and motion-control testing. This emphasis on early testing gives directors, cinematographers and supervisors a way to explore proposed sequences before committing to production arrangements.

Across its London and Norfolk operations, Lexhag combines studio-based production resources with a technical pipeline designed to support remote artists and flexible scaling. Its work connects planning, on-set capture and digital finishing, allowing practical techniques and post-production tools to contribute throughout the production process.
