About MAS Imageworks
MAS Imageworks is a visual effects and computer animation studio based in Shenzhen, China. Launched commercially in 2015 following incorporation in December 2014, it developed as a cross-border collaboration between filmmakers and digital artists from mainland China, Hong Kong and South Korea. Its work spans feature films, television, advertising and themed entertainment, serving Chinese, Korean and Indian productions as well as international co-productions.
The studio combines visual effects production with CG character and creature animation, stereoscopic effects, pre-visualization and digital compositing. Its services extend from concept design and film pre-production through VFX supervision, production and post-production finishing. This range supports both individual effects assignments and broader involvement in the development and delivery of screen projects.
Film and animation work
Reported company credits include Baahubali: The Beginning, The Monkey King 2, The Bombing, A Smile Is Beautiful and 2.0. These productions reflect its participation in Chinese and Indian commercial cinema, including effects-driven fantasy, action and science-fiction filmmaking. Its capabilities also encompass digital environments and CG production alongside compositing and animation.
Beyond commissioned film effects, MAS Imageworks has pursued animation intellectual-property development and related derivative projects. Its work has also extended into attraction media, including involvement with the Hainan Global 100 Movie Theme Park. These activities connect its screen production capabilities with entertainment formats outside conventional film and television distribution.
The company's production model brings together creative and technical talent across China and South Korea. Its geographic presence supports collaboration between the regional film industries represented in its founding team, while its service offering covers both production support and original animation development.
