Zero VFX

Zero VFX is a Boston-founded visual-effects and creative post-production studio working across feature films, episodic television, and commercial campaigns. Founded in 2010, the company creates photorealistic imagery with an emphasis on invisible visual effects—work designed to blend naturally into live-action storytelling.

Its work spans complex CGI environments, digital matte painting and set extensions, simulations for fire, water, atmosphere and destruction, character and creature effects, digital doubles, face replacement, crowd work, compositing, beauty cleanup, and on-set VFX supervision. The studio also provides editorial, color finishing, quality control, and multi-platform versioning for commercial productions.
