About Ruffian Post
Ruffian Post is a boutique, full-service post-production and visual effects studio working across advertising, music videos, television, feature film and emerging digital platforms. Based in London and Los Angeles, it brings together visual effects, CGI animation, editorial, motion graphics and finishing for commercial and entertainment productions.
The studio was established as the dedicated post-production arm of the directing collective Mad Ruffian. Its work supports both the collective’s productions and projects commissioned by outside agencies and production companies. This arrangement connects creative development and production with post-production execution, while allowing Ruffian Post to operate as a specialist vendor for independently produced work.
Production capabilities
Its capabilities span visual effects supervision, compositing, CG modeling, character animation and Houdini simulation. Editorial services include online and offline editing, alongside color grading, finishing, sound mixing and versioning. The studio also undertakes motion design and intellectual property development.
Its supplied project history illustrates several combinations of these disciplines. Citizen’s The Power of Light brought together Houdini effects, CG watch modeling and editing. Work for On The Border Mexican Grill combined editorial, post supervision and sound mixing, while Panda Express’s Share Good Fortune involved 3D animation, editorial and visual effects supervision.
Music-related work includes post-production and visual effects for Spotify’s Green Screen performances and the Tokischa and Tainy music video JALO!, associated with the Rebel Moon franchise. Other supplied credits include Elton John’s Bennie and the Jets, Ciara’s Jump and Fujifilm Instax’s Fill the World.
More about Ruffian Post
Founders and leadership
- Co-founder Christopher Watson-Wood serves as executive creative director, bringing technical expertise in Houdini simulation, CG modeling and compositing.
- Co-founder Amanda Jones serves as executive creative producer, overseeing production management, creative storytelling and editorial workflows.
Working model and techniques
The studio describes a boutique approach centered on bespoke collaboration rather than high-volume production, with a small core team that scales according to each production. Its work on Darwin Deez’s Kill Your Attitude used Unity game-engine CGI alongside visual effects.
Project recognition
The Greenpeace film Motherless Child, to which Ruffian Post contributed visual effects, cinematography and editing, is identified in the research as a Gold Winner in the Cannes Framepool/LBB/Fireflies Challenge. This recognition is attributed to the film.
