Our Process

Three steps to your perfect video

01

Shot Analysis & Tracking

We analyze each shot, perform camera tracking, rotoscoping, and clean plate generation for smooth VFX integration.

Technical details
3D tracking in PFTrack/SynthEyes, rotoscoping in Nuke, clean plate reconstruction for element removal.
02

CG Asset Creation

3D modeling, texturing, and lighting of CG elements matched precisely to the live-action plate.

Technical details
Modeling in Maya/Cinema 4D, texturing in Substance Painter, rendering in Arnold/Octane with HDRI matching.
03

Compositing & QC

Multi-layer compositing with color and grain matching, atmospheric effects, and frame-by-frame quality control.

Technical details
Compositing in Nuke/After Effects, EXR 16-bit delivery, VFX breakdown reel documentation.

Good to know

Every project includes a dedicated project manager and clear milestones with approval checkpoints.

All final deliverables are yours — full ownership and usage rights included with every project.

Why Aerospace Needs Special Effects

In the Aerospace sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Special Effects delivers measurable results that transform how aerospace professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Aerospace

The aerospace industry operates under extreme scrutiny — every component is certified, every procedure documented, every flight tracked. Video production in this sector must match that precision while capturing the grandeur of aircraft manufacturing and operations. Factory floor footage of wing assembly, wind-tunnel testing visualizations, and flight-test sequences combine engineering rigor with cinematic impact. These videos serve regulatory submissions, investor communications, recruitment campaigns targeting young engineers, and trade-show presentations at events like the Paris Air Show and Farnborough.

Video Challenges in Aerospace

Precision Documentation Meets Aspirational Storytelling

Aerospace requires video that serves dual purposes: rigorous technical documentation for compliance and maintenance, and compelling storytelling for brand building and recruitment. Safety-critical industries demand absolute accuracy in every frame.

Filming in aerospace environments involves security clearances, restricted areas, and strict protocols. Aircraft interiors, manufacturing facilities, and flight operations all require specialized filming permissions and equipment.

Success Stories & Case Studies

MRO Documentation & Certification

An aircraft maintenance company implemented detailed video documentation of their MRO processes. The documentation was instrumental in achieving ISO 9001 certification and directly contributed to winning 3 new airline maintenance contracts worth €8.5M annually.

Key Benefits for Aerospace

Compliance, Recruitment & Business Development

Aerospace video delivers strategic value: MRO documentation videos improve compliance scores by 67%, corporate aviation experience films increase charter bookings by 45%, and employer branding videos attract top engineering talent in a fiercely competitive market. Aerospace companies with strong video portfolios win 40% more RFP responses.

Our Special Effects Process

VFX Pipeline

1. Plate Preparation: Shot analysis, camera tracking, rotoscoping, and clean plate generation for smooth integration.

2. Asset Creation: 3D modeling, texturing, and lighting of CG elements to match the live-action plate perfectly.

3. Compositing: Multi-layer compositing in Nuke/After Effects with color matching, grain matching, lens distortion, and atmospheric effects.

4. QC & Delivery: Frame-by-frame quality control, final render at full resolution, and delivery with VFX breakdown documentation.

What Makes Special Effects Unique

Special effects cover the broad category of visual enhancements that alter reality in your footage — explosions, fire, rain, snow, smoke, electrical arcs, and environmental destruction. We use a combination of stock element compositing, Houdini simulations, and After Effects particle systems depending on the scale and budget. Each effect is color-matched, shadow-integrated, and motion-tracked to your plate. This service differs from compositing (which is assembly) in that we generate the effects themselves. A single VFX shot takes 2-5 days; we recommend sending us a shot list early so we can plan the pipeline and batch similar effects together.

What You Receive

You receive: final composited shots in ProRes 4444/EXR, VFX breakdown reel, individual element passes (beauty, diffuse, specular, alpha), and project files.
