Traditional Visual Effects

We believe every story is worth telling, but sometimes storytelling exceeds the limits of reality. SalientNinja specializes in smashing through the barriers of reality using traditional VFX techniques.

We're constantly studying the emerging capabilities of AI for developing story telling experiences, either when projects are too cost prohibitive or to push the limits of what is possible.

Layer Ninjas

Rotoscoping + Chroma Keying

We'll isolate foreground objects from your background (even if it isn't shot against a green screen) which opens up the scene for further expansion - drop your character into a forbidding dungeon, or on the precipice of a tall building against a smoggy futuristic city.

In most cases we can also unwanted remove objects from a scene and reconstruct the background behind them.

We can then deliver the separated layers to you as transparent plates, or help you develop the shot further.

Scene Ninjas

Composition

Our team can blend multiple elements together into a seamless scene with accurate lighting and layout - combine rotoscoped footage with new backgrounds, add atmospheric effects such as fog or even insert new objects into the scene for actors to interact with.

Need a character to talk to a dragon, or to rework the shot into a moody cloudy day complete with animated skies?

Does your wizard need to shot fireballs out of his hand? Is the race track kicking up enough dust for dramatic effect?

Asset Ninjas

3D / Matte Imagery / Virtual Sets

Do the impossible! Our talented artists can produce any artwork needed for your project - from 3D modelling to matte background boards.
We can even rig the world we forge into a virtual set for use in compositing or live integration projects in studio.

Our character team can model photo-realistic monsters, or use our architects and virtual set builders to produce your next spaceship bridge.

We can also support you to Iterate faster with live MoCap or use live projection sets to get the right shot and lighting first-time.

Fixit Ninjas

Cleanups / Retouching

Our technicians can remove wires or rigs from your shots with ease and can touch-up footage to make glamour shots look amazing. Quick spot removal and beautification services are available.

If you're working with old / distressed footage, our specialist restoration team can breathe new life into your visuals. We can also colorize black and white footage to your exacting specifications.

Need to remove the car in the background of a fantasy shot, or get rid of the flock of birds flying through the shot? Give us a call today!
