About Moontower VFX
Moontower VFX is an independent boutique animation, visual effects and immersive media studio based in Austin, Texas. Founded in 2009, it produces digital content for feature films, episodic television, commercials, video games and interactive experiences. Its work combines character animation and computer-generated imagery with compositing, photorealistic effects and real-time development.
The studio’s animation capabilities span visual development, 2D and 3D animation, character rigging and technical direction. Its visual effects services include CGI asset creation, integration of digital elements into photographed footage, background extensions, screen replacements and digital cleanup. Production work also encompasses paint, clean plates, rig removal and simulations involving fire, smoke, sparks and other dynamic effects. These capabilities support both animated content and effects work within live-action productions.
Screen and commercial work
Moontower VFX’s television credits include visual effects for The Walking Dead: World Beyond and season three of Ted Lasso. Its feature-film work includes 115 visual effects shots for Match Me If You Can and contributions to The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster. Studio artists also provided visual effects and compositing support for Lazer Team. Its commercial portfolio includes visual content for Disney, Netflix and Nike, alongside work across advertising and broadcast production.
Interactive production
Beyond film and television, the studio develops virtual reality, augmented reality and real-time interactive content. Its capabilities include game art, cinematics, interactive physics, simulation and mobile AR experiences. This work extends its animation and effects practice into formats where digital assets and animation respond to user interaction.
In July 2017, Moontower VFX developed and published 4th of July VR, an original virtual reality simulation game. The project demonstrates the studio’s involvement in creating and releasing its own interactive work alongside commissioned production. Its broader interactive portfolio includes VR layout and animation work and an augmented reality educational experience.

Founders and background

Production model
- The report describes two ways the studio works with clients: complete concept-to-creation production and specialized vendor support integrated into existing studio or agency pipelines. The latter allows clients to commission individual production components rather than a complete package.
