Luxa Studio

Luxa Studio is an independent film production and visual effects company based in Oxford, working across the UK, Europe and China. Its work combines live-action production, commercial directing, on-set visual effects supervision and post-production, with capabilities in virtual production and international cinematography coordination. The studio produces commercials, promos, brand films, interviews, corporate content and feature-film units.

Founded in Beijing in 2012 by visual effects producer Lucie Parola and visual effects supervisor and director Gareth Repton, the company initially developed its business around international VFX production for Asian theatrical releases. Its early work connected Western visual effects workflows with Chinese film production, providing both post-production services and supervision during filming. Feature credits include The Crossing, Mojin: The Lost Legend, League of Gods, City of Rock, Operation Red Sea, Animal World and The Wandering Earth.

Production and post-production

Luxa's services extend from concept development and creative direction through script breakdown, budgeting, filming and finishing. Its visual effects capabilities include 3D modelling, CGI animation, digital compositing, practical VFX supervision and set extensions. On-set services encompass real-time camera tracking, reference capture and compositing, supported by previs and technical visualisation. Colour grading and commercial photography complement its moving-image production work.

The company also develops channel-specific video for digital, social and corporate communications. Its portfolio includes wildlife conservation campaigns for WildAid, commercial work for Deliveroo and branded production for Singapore Airlines. Projects range from green-screen filming and transition effects to campaigns combining direction, live-action photography and visual effects.

Following its initial Beijing period, Luxa shifted its core operations to Oxfordshire and broadened its focus toward UK production, commercials and virtual production for independent filmmaking. Its current approach brings practical filmmaking and visual effects together within a production offering that can support both complete projects and specialist contributions. Alongside its core production team, the studio coordinates an international roster of Directors of Photography and works with affiliated freelance animators and VFX artists.
