About Storm Studios

Storm Studios is a visual effects and computer animation studio based in Oslo, Norway. Established in 2001, it creates effects for feature films, episodic television, streaming productions and commercials, working across Norwegian cinema and international productions.

Its production capabilities span photorealistic creatures, character animation, digital environments and technically demanding effects simulations. The studio combines concept design and art direction with character design, rigging, animation, digital matte painting and compositing. On-set visual effects supervision and technical consultation support projects through production, while environment creation and digital set extensions expand filmed locations. Simulation work includes water, fire, destruction, smoke and organic effects.

Film and television work

The studio's international feature credits include Black Panther, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Fate of the Furious. Its television work includes The Last of Us, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Star Trek: Discovery, Shadow and Bone, The Witcher and Watchmen.

For Sinners, Storm Studios served as lead VFX partner, delivering twin compositing and fire tornado simulations. Other recent projects include world-building effects for The Electric State and contributions to the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Norwegian production roots

The company's early history is connected to the computer-animated feature Free Jimmy and co-production on the animated short Peter & the Wolf. Its Norwegian film credits include Kon-Tiki, Headhunters, Trollhunter, Max Manus: Man of War, The Wave, The Quake and The Burning Sea. This body of work connects its animation origins with subsequent visual effects production across domestic and international film and television.
