About The Gentlemen Broncos
The Gentlemen Broncos was a Danish visual effects and post-production studio based in Copenhagen. Its creative collective began collaborating around 2012, before the business was formally incorporated in February 2015. Working across feature films, scripted television, commercials, documentaries and music videos, the studio combined digital image creation with on-set support and post-production finishing.
Its visual effects work encompassed digital environments, creature animation, digital doubles and photorealistic compositing. The team also handled digital matte painting, matchmoving, layout and dynamic simulations, including destruction effects. These capabilities supported productions requiring both integrated visual effects and more conspicuous computer-generated characters or environments.
Production and finishing
The studio supplied 2D compositing, rotoscoping, clean-up, 3D animation and CGI effects sequences. Its production services included technical VFX supervision and digital imaging technician deployment, connecting on-set requirements with subsequent image work. Finishing services extended to offline editing, colour grading, conform, mastering and digital cinema package deliveries.
Its feature-film portfolio included The Salvation, The Untamed, The Neon Demon, Thelma, Under the Tree, Border and Vivarium. For The Untamed, the studio provided CGI creature animation and visual effects compositing. Its contribution to Thelma formed part of a production involving several visual effects vendors, while Vivarium included compositing and 3D work by its artists. The company was also a co-producer and visual effects vendor on Wildwitch.
Commercial work included Com Hem’s Above and Beyond and the Doctors Without Borders campaign Life. Alongside its Danish work, the studio participated in Swedish and wider Nordic productions through a separately incorporated Swedish subsidiary.
The company’s independent corporate history ended on 29 April 2022, when it was dissolved following a merger during the group’s restructuring under the Storyline Studios umbrella. Its historical portfolio remains associated with The Gentlemen Broncos name; the supplied research identifies the former studio website as inactive.
