history
StaticVFX was founded in Bucharest, Romania, in 2014 by Alin Dumitru and Liviu Dinu.
Today, with a core team of 25 artists, our individual or studio experiences spans from productions or clients such as: HBO, Netflix, Marvel, Samsung, The Swarm, The World to Come, Troll, BirdBox Barcelona, Under Paris and many others.
Our facility is ISO27001 and TPN (on the way) certified with optic fiber infrastructure and scalable pipeline provided by AYON. We are serious about being fun, open and take challenges one step at a time.
In the end, we’re just a bunch of people from different domains, united by the passion for film and visual effects.
approach
Our philosophy is rooted in transparency and collaboration, enabling us to attract talented directors, creatives, and producers. Our strong partnerships with production, sound, and color grading houses allow us to take a comprehensive approach to every project.
We prioritize pipeline management, artistic development, and effective communication with both our artists and clients.
From the initial stages, we assist the production team in visualizing, budgeting, and finding creative and financial solutions. We are able to jump in a project from the very first steps of the process by helping the production team to visualize, quote and find the required solutions creatively as well as financially.
facility
We’re quite proud of our facility, which benefits from 500 sqm, a big open space, dedicated rooms for servers and dailies.
All these come with a nice, big, green yard shared with other companies from the same Hub compound called Avanpost, a production and post-production company.
We’re located 15 min drive from the Otopeni Airport and City Center.
pipeline
We’re currently running on AYON an open-source pipeline platform developed by Ynput, designed to support studios and remote teams in managing their creative projects. It offers a scalable and production-proven pipeline that continuously evolves to meet industry demands.
In terms of software, the backbone of our workflow is represented by Maya, Nuke and Houdini, completed by usual suspects like Zbrush, Substance, Mari, Deadline, Vray/Arnold, Ftrack. We’re also slowly implementing UNREAL ENGINE into our pipeline as it is really fast and versatile.
