About Trickshot

Trickshot is an independent digital post-production boutique based in Reykjavík, Iceland. Founded in 2009, it works across feature films, television drama, documentaries, commercials and music videos, serving Icelandic filmmakers and international productions shooting in Iceland. Its capabilities bring picture finishing, editorial, visual effects and sound post-production together within one facility.

Picture finishing and delivery

Color grading and visual look development form the core of the studio’s work. As a Dolby Vision Certified Facility, Trickshot supports HDR and SDR workflows alongside cinema projection grading and screening. Its finishing services cover online editing, conforming offline cuts, mastering and delivery, including IMF packages and theatrical DCPs. The studio adapts its pipeline to the formats, delivery specifications and schedules of individual productions.

For location productions, Trickshot provides off-set digital dailies processing. This includes native-format proxies, daily camera metadata reports and secure online review media, helping editorial teams, directors and production stakeholders follow material while filming takes place across Iceland. Offline editing and online finishing extend that workflow through later stages of post-production.

Integrated post-production

The studio’s visual effects and motion design work includes CGI, 2D and 3D graphics, cleanup, paint and roto, and shot enhancement. Its audio facilities support Dolby Atmos Home and 5.1 surround mixing, dialogue recording and replacement, and remote ADR sessions. Together, these departments support projects requiring both picture and sound services through final delivery.

Trickshot’s portfolio spans Nordic cinema and international episodic production. Its artists have contributed color grading and online work to Touch, Katla, Blackport and The Valhalla Murders, with HDR grading on Lamb and Against the Ice. Work on Time and Water also encompassed online conform, restoration and finishing.

Commercial projects include visual effects and finishing for Inspired By Iceland – Icelandverse, alongside campaigns for Icelandair and other Icelandic brands. The studio also works on music videos, applying its grading, editorial and finishing capabilities across a range of production formats.
