In the Dance 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 dance professionals communicate with their audience.
Dance video production demands technical understanding of movement — camera placement, lens choice, and editing rhythm must serve the choreography rather than impose an external visual language. Wide shots preserve the spatial composition that choreographers spend months refining, while close-ups reveal the emotional expression and physical detail (muscle tension, breath, fabric movement) that audiences in back rows never see. Camera movement must follow the dance's internal rhythm: tracking shots that match the tempo, crane moves that breathe with the musical phrasing, and cuts that land on musical accents. Floor-level perspectives and overhead angles provide viewpoints impossible from any theater seat. The lighting design of the original performance is a collaborator, not an obstacle — video lighting supplements rather than replaces the stage design. Audio recording must capture both the music and the physicality: footfalls, fabric sounds, and breath that give dance its human dimension. Distribution targets social media, dance company websites, and festival/competition submissions. Budgets range from 1,500-5,000 euros for studio capture to 5,000-15,000 euros for full production dance films.
Cultural institutions face the challenge of reaching audiences beyond their physical walls. 62% of museum visitors watch online content before visiting, and virtual exhibitions have become essential for global reach. Video must capture the visceral impact of art while respecting the artist's vision and the work's integrity.
From exhibition documentation to artist interviews, performance capture to educational content, cultural video requires sensitivity and technical excellence. Low-light gallery conditions, reflective surfaces, and the need to convey scale and texture all present unique production challenges.
A contemporary art museum produced virtual tour videos of their flagship exhibition. Online viewership reached 2.8M (vs 180K physical visitors), international ticket sales increased 34% for subsequent exhibitions, and the museum's subscriber base grew 156%.
Cultural video amplifies reach exponentially: virtual exhibition videos reach 15x more people than physical visits, artist interview series increase exhibition attendance by 34%, and educational art content builds long-term audience loyalty. Cultural institutions with active video channels report 45% higher membership renewal rates.

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.
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.
You receive: final composited shots in ProRes 4444/EXR, VFX breakdown reel, individual element passes (beauty, diffuse, specular, alpha), and project files.
Software: Nuke, After Effects, Houdini, Maya, Cinema 4D | Tracking: PFTrack, SynthEyes | Render: Arnold, V-Ray, Octane | Output: EXR 16/32-bit, ProRes 4444, DPX
