About Psyop Vancouver

Psyop Vancouver was a Canadian production branch of Psyop's Film & Television Division, established in December 2014. It formed part of the company's expansion from advertising into visual development, feature film visual effects and episodic television production.

The Vancouver team's work combined design, animation and visual effects for long-form storytelling. Its capabilities included concept art, character design, look development, CGI, compositing and creative supervision. The division contributed visual effects and concept design to productions including David O. Russell's Joy, the Coen brothers' Hail, Caesar! and the 2016 revival of The X-Files.

The branch operated within Psyop's wider production organization rather than as an independently incorporated company. Its establishment extended the Film & Television Division's production footprint into British Columbia alongside its Los Angeles operations.

The Vancouver facility was short-lived. Following the departure of key production leadership in late 2016, Psyop consolidated production into its core Los Angeles and New York facilities. Vancouver operations ceased around that time, and the company did not subsequently resume a physical studio there.
