About Proxima Milano
Proxima Milano is an independent Italian visual effects, post-production and creative production studio founded in Milan in 2003. It works across feature films, episodic television and advertising, combining visual effects supervision, digital imagery, animation and finishing. Its production capabilities extend from work on set through the creation and integration of digital elements to final picture and sound delivery.
The studio’s VFX work includes 2D and 3D compositing, digital matte painting, set extensions, crowd simulation and complex CGI integration. It also provides invisible effects and cleanup, supporting productions that require changes to environments or images without drawing attention to the effects themselves. Its CGI and animation capabilities encompass modeling, asset creation, character design, texturing, dynamic simulation, motion graphics and main title sequences.
Post-production services include digital intermediate work, conform, online finishing, mastering and sound design, alongside SDR, HDR and 4K color grading. This combination allows the company to contribute both individual visual effects sequences and broader post-production support for film, television and commercial projects.
Its entertainment portfolio includes The Leopard, The Count of Monte Cristo, Lubo, Un Mondo A Parte and Limonov: The Ballad. Television work also includes The Young Pope, The New Pope, Gomorrah and ZeroZeroZero. For The Leopard, the supplied research reports more than 400 visual effects shots, including set extensions, crowd simulations and digital matte paintings.
In advertising, Proxima Milano works with creative agencies and brands across automotive, fashion, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals. Commercial projects combine compositing, CGI, animation, grading and finishing, with generative AI also forming part of its visual production offering.
The studio develops hybrid computer graphics and generative AI workflows through its internal DECODE70 Content Room. It also supports international producers pursuing Italian audiovisual tax credit routes, providing advisory and production assistance through executive production and direct post-production models. These activities complement its established visual effects and finishing business.
