Apply for GFX Compositor

CombineFX is a generative visual effects pipeline built to expand what independent filmmakers can put on screen without removing the artists who make filmmaking possible. Our technology works alongside cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, set decorators, VFX artists, and their crews, giving them a broader canvas on which to create. By combining traditional filmmaking craft with new generative tools, CombineFX helps filmmakers extend sets, build environments, enhance practical design, and create worlds that would traditionally require far larger budgets. Technology doesn’t make the creative decisions the filmmakers do. CombineFX simply gives their ideas somewhere bigger to go.
