3D, CGI & VFX Studio in Los Angeles.

CGI & VFX That Hold Up On The Big Screen. Product visualization, environment builds, compositing, and visual effects -- all in-house, all in Blender and Unreal Engine.

CGI and VFX are either invisible or they tank the whole piece. MindOfDerby, based in Los Angeles, builds photorealistic product renders, environment extensions, and VFX composites that hold up frame by frame. No outsourcing. No briefing a stranger on your vision. The same director who concepted the piece is the one building it in 3D.

What most brands end up with.

  • Freelance CGI artist who's never been on a live shoot

  • Models that look 3D because the lighting was never matched

  • Compositing that doesn't hold up past a phone screen

  • No understanding of how the shot is supposed to feel

  • Three rounds of revisions that still don't fix the core problem

What MindOfDerby delivers.

  • Director-led CGI built by someone who understands the full pipeline

  • Lighting matched to live footage so the composite reads as one image

  • Nuke and After Effects compositing built to cinema standard

  • VFX decisions made with the creative intent of the piece in mind

  • Clean delivery in whatever format your pipeline requires
