About RGBA Studios

RGBA Studios is an independent visual effects, animation and post-production studio based in Mumbai, India. Founded in 2008, it works across advertising, feature films, television and allied media. Its boutique production offering combines conceptual design with technical execution, supporting projects from early visual development through animation, compositing and finished commercial imagery.

The studio provides turnkey production and direction alongside on-set VFX supervision. Its pre-production work includes concept art, storyboarding, 3D previsualisation and research animatics for agency testing. These services support the development of ideas, shot planning and visual treatments before production moves into live action or animation.

Visual effects and animation

RGBA's capabilities include live-action VFX integration, 2D and 3D animation, character animation, motion graphics and broadcast packaging. Its commercial work spans photorealistic product packshots, automotive CGI integration and product windows, as well as digital environments and crowd multiplication. The studio also undertakes corporate audiovisual productions, event media, architectural visualisation and animation for medical, industrial and digital education applications.

Its portfolio covers both individual effects sequences and broader creative assignments. Film-related work includes motion graphics, packaging, editing and title design for theatrical and television promotions, together with opening and promotional VFX title sequences. Advertising assignments range from integrating computer-generated elements into live-action footage to producing animated characters and instructional campaigns.

Commercial focus

The studio works with advertising agencies and production houses serving Indian and international brands. Its reported commercial portfolio includes Hindustan Unilever, Cadbury and Mondelez, Asian Paints, CEAT, Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, HPCL, State Bank of India, Samsung, Nissan and Titan. These assignments span automotive, consumer goods, financial services, consumer electronics and healthcare markets.

Across these formats, RGBA brings together pre-production support, production supervision and post-production capabilities, allowing its involvement to extend from initial visual planning to the execution of finished film, broadcast and advertising material.
