A Trusted VFX Outsourcing Service Delivering High-Quality Visual
Storytelling

As a full-service visual effects studio, we take on the labor-intensive, frame-by-frame work that in-house teams don't have the bandwidth for: rotoscoping, paint & prep, matchmove, object tracking, cosmetic adjustment, compositing, and 3D conversion prep. Productions typically send us a defined shot package — plates, references, and a spec sheet — and we return clean, pipeline-ready deliverables. We plug into your existing pipeline rather than asking you to adapt to ours.

Chennai has grown into a genuine VFX outsourcing hub — a deep talent pool trained on international pipelines, English-language production fluency, and time zones that let overseas studios hand off shots at the end of their day and receive progress the next morning. Combined with lower operating costs than North America or Western Europe, it lets productions scale artist capacity up or down without the overhead of hiring full-time staff for a single show.

Content security isn't an add-on for us — it's a certified part of how we operate. We hold TPN (Trusted Partner Network) Gold Shield status, the standard major studios and streamers use to vet vendors before sharing unreleased footage. In practice that means restricted facility access, watermarked and access-controlled media, NDAs on every engagement, and audited data-handling procedures across our pipeline.

Yes — scaling shot capacity on short notice is one of the main reasons productions outsource in the first place. Because we run a dedicated in-house artist pool rather than a freelance network, we can reassign artists onto a show quickly when volume spikes, without the ramp-up time of hiring and onboarding new staff. For episodic or multi-season work, we also build recurring capacity plans so a sudden batch of shots doesn't catch either side off guard.

Our shot work has supported productions connected to major studios and streaming platforms, including Disney, Marvel, Warner Bros., Netflix, Amazon, and Apple. That spans feature films, episodic streaming series, and long-form episodic content — anything that needs high shot volume handled reliably without compromising on quality or security.

Turnaround depends on shot complexity, count, and how tight the roto or paint work needs to be — a simple object-removal pass moves much faster than dense multi-layer character roto. What we can commit to upfront is a clear timeline before work begins, built around your delivery milestones, with our Chennai team able to run parallel shifts against overseas time zones so work continues while your in-house team is offline.

Most engagements are quoted per shot or per frame, scoped against your spec sheet and complexity tier — a locked-off background paint fix costs differently than dense character rotoscoping across hundreds of frames. For ongoing or high-volume relationships, we also structure dedicated-team or retainer arrangements. Send us a sample shot package and we'll return a scoped quote rather than a generic rate card.

Our artists work across industry-standard roto, paint, and compositing tools including SilhouetteFX, Mocha Pro, and Nuke, with tracking and matchmove handled in tools matched to your existing pipeline. We fit into whatever project structure and file-naming conventions your production already uses, so deliverables slot back in without extra conversion work on your end.

Every shot goes through internal QC against your spec sheet before it's delivered, and revision rounds are built into our process rather than treated as an exception. If a delivered shot needs adjustment, our supervisors work directly against your notes and turn revisions around on a fast track, since we know changes usually surface late in a schedule when time is already tight.

Reach out with a sample shot or a description of your upcoming workload through the contact form above, or email us directly at marketing@5edigital.com. We'll review scope, walk through security requirements if the project needs an NDA upfront, and come back with a timeline and quote before any footage changes hands.
