WHO WE ARE

Born in the heart of Spain and in collaboration with Important Looking Pirates, a world-class team of VFX professionals have come together to form METRÓPOLIS VFX.

With 2 Emmy and 3 VES awards credited to the founding team, the new studio has ambitions to redefine Spanish VFX from small town to gleaming metropolis. Named after the iconic building in Madrid, METRÓPOLIS VFX intends to be a world-class destination for complex CG, environments, FX simulations, and advanced compositing.
