Post-production and VFX in Madrid

It depends on how many shots need work and how much each one needs: cleaning up a locked-off shot is not the same as placing a 3D object in a moving camera, or cutting out a person without a green screen. The footage, the number of versions and the deadline count too, and preparing on set saves the most. Send us the footage, or a sample, and we’ll send a proposal with a quote.

We need the footage (or a sample to start with), the script or a reference edit, your brand guidelines if you have them, and a list of where the piece will be shown. You get shots to review at each stage and the final video in every format you need: web, social media, an event screen or a screen in an exhibition gallery.

We set it out in the proposal: what gets reviewed at each stage, how many rounds are included and who gives final sign-off. That way notes arrive together and don’t contradict each other. With production companies and agencies, we work to their schedule and their approval process.

Yes, if you’re in Madrid: the most delicate shots are best reviewed together, at your office or at the production company, in front of the same screen. The other reviews can be remote, with the shots and written notes, so the schedule doesn’t depend on everyone being in the same room.

Yes, it’s a big part of our work. For Fundación Mapfre we’ve made pieces for its photography and art exhibitions, filmed in the gallery itself and finished in post. For the 25th anniversary of the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, with the agency Magán y Magán, we turned works from its collection into 3D scenes you can step into.

Yes. We can take on a self-contained part, such as the graphics for a documentary or a set of VFX shots, or join the production team and work to its deadlines and its way of working. We did this with Fremantle on “Infiltrada en el Búnker”, for Amazon Studios.

Large VFX houses are built for film and series: big teams, lots of shots and one type of work. We focus on brand content, exhibitions, campaigns and documentaries, and bring post-production, motion graphics and 3D together in one team, so the piece is thought through as a whole from the start.

Before the shoot, if the piece will have effects: with the script and the shooting schedule, we can tell you what to prepare (markers, backdrops, lighting references) so post-production is faster and cleaner. If it’s already shot, that works too: we review the footage and tell you what can and can’t be done.

At the Madrid Film Office, the City Council’s filming service (Plaza Mayor 27): it advises on permits and has a locations catalogue and a directory of companies and professionals. The Comunidad de Madrid sums up the tax incentives for audiovisual production on Film Madrid; how they apply to each project is for its tax adviser to decide.

Yes. Footage arrives online and most reviews happen remotely, so we work the same way for clients across Spain and abroad. If you’re in Madrid, the most delicate reviews can also be face to face; if not, everything runs by video call and written notes on each shot.
