CGI Artist Services

Here is how the work lines up. New York's CGI talent pool sits inside one of the strongest VFX clusters in the world. The Mill NY in Chelsea, Method Studios NY, MPC NY, Framestore NY (Gravity, Avengers, Doctor Strange), DNEG NY, Brickyard, Charlex, Eyeball, Buck DUMBO, Imaginary Forces, Trollbäck+Firm, Loyalkaspar, and Roof Brooklyn collectively staff the broadcast graphics, commercial VFX, and feature work that defines NYC's post-prod reputation — and most of our CGI roster has rotated through those houses on credited projects.

Here is how the work shapes up. Pipeline parity with global vendors is non-negotiable in this market, so the artists in our network work fluently in Maya, Houdini, Nuke, V-Ray, Arnold, Redshift, and OCIO/ACES color workflows that integrate cleanly with the post pipelines at Light Iron NY at Harbor Picture Company, Goldcrest Post NY, PostWorks NY, Technicolor PostWorks, and Final Frame. Hard-surface modellers from automotive and luxury commercial work, settings leads from Marvel and HBO series, and character TDs trained on the SVA computer-art and Pratt animation programs are all on the shortlist based on the brief.

Here is how it adds up. Selection runs against your pipeline first, your shot count second. We open each brief with the toolchain your VFX supervisor has already locked. Maya or Houdini for assets, Nuke or Fusion for comp, ftrack or ShotGrid for production tracking — and present artists who can drop into that pipeline without reconfiguring.

Here is the run-down. For broadcast and streaming work tied to HBO Hudson Yards, Netflix NY, Apple TV+ NYC, Amazon NY, Showtime/Paramount, or NBCUniversal 30 Rock, we confirm TPN-aligned data handling, encrypted vendor handoff, and turnover ALE/CDL ingest against the dailies workflow your edit has set in Manhattan or DUMBO. For Madison Avenue commercial work, we stage artists who can iterate at agency tempo while holding lookdev parity with the live-action plate shot through Mercurio-tier NYC houses.

Our CGI roster works under freelance W-9 or union IATSE Local 829 contracts based on buy-in, ships work eligible for the NYS Film Tax Credit (30% + 10% NYC uplift) where the production qualifies via MOME (Made in NY), and survives the Tribeca and DOC NYC exhibition path that NYC supervisors deliver into.
