About RD101
RD101 is a Seoul-based visual effects, digital human and virtual content production studio founded in 2018. Its work spans feature films, television series, high-end streaming productions, commercial advertising and new media. The studio combines established post-production capabilities with digital scanning, character creation and virtual world development.
Its production offering extends from early visual planning through final image finishing. Pre-production services include conceptual design, concept art, storyboards, technical previs and 3D pre-visualization. During production, the studio provides on-set VFX supervision, character animation and high-resolution digital scanning. Post-production work includes look development, digital matte painting, compositing, dynamic effects simulation and Digital Intermediate color grading. This combination supports projects requiring both creative development and technically demanding image production.
Visual effects and virtual content
RD101 specializes in photorealistic environments and characters, alongside simulations involving creatures, particles, fluids, cloth, hair and crowds. Its digital human work combines facial capture with expression and emotion mapping to support realistic character animation. The studio also develops metaverse spaces and virtual environments, extending its capabilities beyond conventional film and television post-production.
Its portfolio includes Korean films and series such as All of Us Are Dead, The Call, Sinkhole, The Book of Fish and Mr. Queen. Commercial and new media services include advertising planning, agency work, digital human avatar integration and cloud-rendered media assets.
In September 2023, GALA INCORPORATED and Megazone Corporation acquired a combined controlling interest through a third-party share allotment. RD101 subsequently became a consolidated operating subsidiary of GALA Group, contributing visual effects and metaverse production capabilities to the group. Its public website now directs visitors to GALA’s VFX business portal.
The studio continues to operate with its core post-production capabilities while adapting its pipeline toward AI-assisted visual content creation, digital content synthesis and next-generation virtual production.
