One of Us

One of Us is a London-founded visual effects studio delivering high-end CGI and digital post-production for feature films, episodic television, streaming originals, advertising and immersive media. Its work spans the full VFX lifecycle, from early visual development and previsualization through on-set supervision, asset creation, shot work and final compositing.

The studio’s design-led approach combines concept development with photoreal image-making. Its capabilities include creature design and creature FX, digital environments, complex matte painting, character modelling and animation, advanced compositing, camera tracking, rotoscoping and preparation. Teams also work with procedural FX workflows for particles, dynamics, pyrotechnics and fluids, alongside lighting and look-development pipelines using Houdini, Arnold, USD/Solaris and Karma.

A particular strength is integrating complex CG work into live-action photography. One of Us supports photorealistic creature grooming, feather and plumage systems, anatomical rigging, CFX simulation, 2.5D photographic workflows and detailed image integration. It also provides production consultation and real-time virtual-production tooling for projects requiring VFX input during filming.

Since expanding beyond the UK, the company has built creative and production capacity across Europe, India and North America while retaining its distinct One of Us brand. Its Paris operation supports European productions, including projects eligible for France’s international production tax-rebate framework. Following Basilic Fly Studio Limited’s acquisition of a 70% stake in 2024, One of Us continued to operate as an autonomous creative subsidiary under its existing management.
