Troll VFX

Troll VFX is a Finnish visual-effects and digital post-production studio established in Tampere in 2012. Founded by Antti Kulmala, Samuli Torssonen, and Vesa Jokinen following their work on Iron Sky, the company creates visual effects for feature films, television and streaming productions, as well as commercials and advertising campaigns.

Its work spans the full VFX process, from early creative development and shot planning through on-set supervision, CG production and final compositing. The studio combines photorealistic environment creation, set extensions, digital crowds and vehicle work with character and creature animation, matte painting, cleanup, and complex effects simulations for fluids, fire, explosions and destruction.

Troll VFX works across Finnish productions and international co-productions. Its credits include Iron Sky, The Unknown Soldier, Bordertown, Tom of Finland, Hatching, Gold Run, Codename: Annika, Steeltown Murders, The Witcher: Season 3, SISU, Thrash, and John Rambo.

The studio became the first Finnish VFX vendor to secure a direct master service contract with Netflix in 2019, helping extend its work from domestic features and series to international streaming and studio projects. Its current operations continue under Troll VFX Oy, following a 2025 corporate restructuring that retained the Troll VFX brand and ongoing studio activity.

Troll VFX serves productions requiring creative development, production-side visual-effects expertise and high-end digital finishing, with work ranging from grounded screen extensions to large-scale CG action and creature-driven imagery.
