Mass FX Media

Mass FX Media is an independent visual effects, motion design, animation and post-production studio based in the Denver metropolitan area of Colorado. Founded in 2011 by filmmakers, it began as a documentary production team before developing a focus on design-led animation, graphics and visual effects for non-fiction storytelling. Its work spans feature documentaries, episodic series, commercial campaigns and branded explainers.

The studio combines 2D and 3D motion design with compositing, title design, data visualization and cartographic animation. These capabilities support projects that need to communicate complex subjects through visual storytelling, from documentary graphics packages to animated explanations and product imagery. Its commercial work includes campaigns and motion design for technology and consumer brands such as Adobe Frame.io, Keysight Technologies, OtterBox and Elastic.
