Established in 2001, Pixomondo has been a pivotal partner for leading storytellers, delivering exceptional visual experiences across various media platforms.

Comprehensive Creative Services

Pixomondo offers a wide array of services that encompass the entire production pipeline.

• Concept Art: The company boasts a renowned team of concept artists who collaborate with production designers and directors to establish the visual direction from the outset. They create detailed designs for characters, creatures, vehicles, and environments, laying the foundation for the creative process.
• Previsualization (Previs): Previs is integral to planning and understanding shots or sequences before actual production. Pixomondo utilizes 3D imagery to visualize and design scenes, enabling quick iterations of staging, lighting, camera placement, and movement without incurring the costs of actual production.
• Virtual Art Department (VAD): Bridging concepts and previs, the VAD develops real-time assets from initial look development to production-ready models and environments. This ensures consistency and quality across all real-time models, acting as a liaison between creatives and artists to incorporate stakeholder feedback effectively.
• Virtual Production: As a leader in on-set virtual production, Pixomondo provides a network of advanced LED volumes, supported by on-set supervision and brain bar teams for optimized virtual production. This includes tools for set and crowd extensions to complex LED volumes for in-camera compositing.
• Visual Effects (VFX): With over two decades of experience, Pixomondo offers comprehensive VFX services, including animation, digital assets, character and creature design, compositing, crowd simulation, environments, and world-building. Their global network of studios ensures scalability and adaptability for projects of any size.
• LED Stages: In-camera VFX is achieved within immersive LED volumes. Pixomondo operates proprietary LED volumes in Toronto and Vancouver, integrating ownership and operation of LED volumes into their creative services, uniquely positioning them to manage productions from concept through to VFX finals.
