StaticVFX is a visual effects and animation studio based in Bucharest, Romania.
history
StaticVFX Studio was founded in 2014, when Liviu Dinu and Alin Dumitru decided to create a visual effects and animation studio in Bucharest.
It started with the thought of creating a creative and growing environment for artists, while focusing on delivering high quality services for commercials, feature films and tv-series. We’re now a team of 25 core artists who provide services from asset creation and rigging to animation, rendering, and compositing.
Our recent involvement includes projects such as Spy Master (HBO), Troll (Netflix), The Swarm (ZDF), To catch a killer or The World to Come. Besides this, we’re doing in-house projects and have created a visual effects community in Romania, constantly looking forward to share knowledge, train and help Romanian artists.
StaticVFX is ISO27001 certified and we’re in the process for TPN certification.
approach
Our philosophy is based on transparency and friendship and that's why we managed to gather around talented directors, creatives and producers. Our solid partnershipds with production, sound and color grading houses give us the advantage of being able to take a full approach on every project. We pay attention to pipeline, artistic development and last but not least - communication with our artists and clients. 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
Our partners from Ynput are providing all the pipeline services and infrastructure for the studio. We’re currently running on OpenPype and, as soon as their new updated version AYON will be ready for production late 2023, we’ll switch to it.
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.
