About The Flying Colour Company
The Flying Colour Company is an independent, artist-led visual effects and post-production studio based in Soho, London. Established in 2013, it creates bespoke effects for high-end episodic television and feature films, with selected work in advertising and music videos. Its production capabilities combine detailed creative compositing with three-dimensional environments, digital assets and effects simulation.
The studio supports productions from shoot planning and on-set or remote VFX supervision through to final post-production. Its work includes invisible clean-up, wire and rig removal, digital plate extraction, photorealistic environments, digital twins and matte painting. Alongside Flame finishing and 2D compositing, its 3D capabilities cover modeling, texturing, lighting and animation. Dynamic effects work encompasses fire, explosions, shockwaves, debris, smoke and fluids.
Integrated production support
Creative work is supported by digital workflow services covering rushes ingest and storage, editorial data pulls, colour pipeline calibration and digital conforms. Data hosting and private screening facilities support production review and client presentations. Together, these services allow the company to handle both visible effects sequences and the less conspicuous technical work needed to carry a production through post-production.
The company's episodic work spans contemporary drama, comedy, thrillers and fantasy. For the BBC thriller Nightsleeper, it served as lead VFX partner, delivering more than 1,280 shots, station digital twins and a major train crash sequence. On Netflix's One Day, its contribution included visual effects and on-set supervision across all 14 episodes. Its work on Fifteen-Love combined 2D and 3D effects with shoot supervision.
Other television credits include Extraordinary, Peaky Blinders, Killing Eve, This Town, Happy Valley and The English. Its feature-film portfolio includes The Lesson, Nocturnal Animals and Hercules. The studio has expanded its creative and technical facilities as its television and film workload has grown, while continuing to operate from its Soho base.
