Visual Effects Compositing

VFX compositing in China rests on Nuke-based pipelines at the country's senior houses. These include Base FX in Beijing (Pacific Rim, Game of Thrones, Pan), More VFX (Wandering Earth I and II, The Great Wall, Three-Body Problem), and Pixomondo Beijing within the global network. MacroGraph and Bottleship VFX serve as mid-tier pros, and PostVision Beijing extends coverage on broadcast and commercial briefs.

Our planning matches projects to compositing teams scaled to shot volume. A senior Beijing facility handles several hundred final shots on a Frant Gwo–scale theatrical feature. A mid-tier house suits an episodic streaming series shipping through Tencent Video or iQIYI. A focused boutique fits commercial VFX shooting in Shanghai and Beijing for the luxury and tech sectors.

The picture on the ground is more specific. We manage shot turnover from the offline edit and make sure plates are graded and conformed cleanly before compositing starts. Review cycles run through ftrack, Shotgrid or Frame.io, with proxies served inside China so feedback moves fast between Beijing supervisors and overseas producers on cross-border co-productions cleared through NRTA. Briefings run in Mandarin and English, with daily review notes and supervisor-on-set attendance ready for Hengdian, Qingdao Wanda and Shanghai Songjiang virtual-production work.

Green-screen keying comes through multi-channel keying tools, advanced edge processing and spill suppression. These skills were honed across years of fantasy and mythological feature work, where wire-rigged stunt photography, CGI-creature blending and full digital environment replacement come standard. Motion tracking uses 3DEqualizer and PFTrack for camera-tracked shots, with object tracking and lens-distortion solves matched against Chinese rental-house lens databases.

A few details matter here. Compositors work in linear ACES pipelines at the higher end, with full support for ARRIRAW, RED R3D and Sony Venice X-OCN. HDR delivery specs match the needs of domestic streamers and global platforms releasing into China through co-pro routes. Chinese features and series including Wandering Earth I and II, Creation of the Gods Trilogy, The Great Wall, Three-Body Problem, the Detective Chinatown franchise, Ne Zha and Yao-Chinese Folktales have shipped large composite shot counts through Beijing houses.

Finals deliver as DPX or EXR sequences for finishing, ProRes masters for streaming, and submission packages for the Hundred Flowers Awards (Best VFX), Golden Rooster and Asia Cinema Awards. Cross-border asset movement is handled under PIPL, the Cybersecurity Law and Data Security Law.
