Occlusion VFX

Occlusion VFX is an artist-driven boutique visual effects and virtual reality studio based in Los Angeles, California. Founded by stereoscopic VFX specialist and technical compositor Josiah Reeves, the studio works across film, episodic content, advertising, music videos and immersive productions. Its background combines stereo conversion and technical compositing with animation, digital environments and visual development.

Production capabilities

The studio supports projects from early planning through post-production. Pre-production services include pre-visualization, animatic generation, concept design, on-set VFX supervision and pipeline consultation. These capabilities help connect creative development and filming with the requirements of visual effects production.

Post-production work includes 2D and 3D compositing, full CG environments, set extensions, character and asset modeling, keyframe animation and motion-capture cleanup. The studio also offers dynamic simulations, including destruction and fluid effects, alongside motion graphics, beauty work and rig removal. Its specialist capabilities extend to stereoscopic conversion, stereo compositing and immersive media production.

Selected work

Occlusion VFX provided compositing for the comedy-western Outlaw Johnny Black and animation and visual effects for Alex Honnold: The Soloist VR. Its contribution to Speak of the Devil VR included 3D modeling and fly compositing, reflecting the studio’s work within immersive storytelling.

Music-video credits include COIN’s Chapstick and Meghan Trainor’s I Believe In Santa. Together, these projects illustrate a practice spanning conventional screen production and VR, with contributions ranging from compositing and digital assets to animation.
