In our 30 years of working in different disciplines within the industry, we have learned to be very flexible in our mindset. Every working day you face new problems that have to be solved quickly. This has shaped our thinking and how we approach any creative challenge.

We never stop until we have come as close as we can to a result that helps the project. Of course, we know we can’t solve all the problems we are faced with, if technical or otherwise, but at least we enjoy the process of getting there. We are very much aware of the challenges in today’s VFX production pipelines. That is why we came up with DMFX, to help lighten a load of creative processes and to make them as easy and enjoyable as possible. So I hope you enjoy what we have created. Go create some great work.

Together we have 90 YEARS of experience working for a variety of clients within the film industry.
