What we do

Creative and technical support from shot planning through final picture.

Playable FX helps independent filmmakers across the development of visual effects, computer graphics, editing, upscaling, restoration, and AI assisted production. Our work emphasizes open-source and indie-friendly development tools and workflows, including Blender, DaVinci Resolve, ComfyUI, and InvokeAI.

With roots in game development, the studio also prototypes virtual sets and interactive 3D, VR, and other media using industry standard game engines like Unreal and Unity.
