Visual effects — the invisible kind — are about making the impossible look natural without calling attention to themselves. At Double Frame, we specialize in subtle, production-focused VFX that enhance story and performance while keeping the work discreet, reliable, and affordable for smaller and independent productions.

What we do

  • Invisible VFX: Seamless fixes that remove distractions, mend continuity, or discreetly add elements so the audience never suspects a composited trick. Ideal for narrative integrity in shorts and features.

  • Compositing: Photoreal integration of plates, greenscreen, practical elements, and digital passes. Color-matched, edge-refined, grain- and lens-profiled to sit perfectly in-camera.

  • Paint-outs & Cleanups: Meticulous frame-by-frame removal of rigs, crew reflections, boom shadows, safety gear, wires, and unwanted set details. Also includes digital set dressing removal, signage replacement, and clean continuity fixes.

  • Matte creation & tracking: Accurate rotoscoping, paint mattes, and planar/3D tracking to anchor fixes across shot movement and camera lens changes.

  • Shot rehabilitation: Stabilization, lens correction, dust/grain management, flicker removal, and temporal interpolation to rescue problematic footage.

Why choose this approach

  • Focus on storytelling: Invisible VFX support performances rather than drawing focus away from them. The goal is never to show off the effect, but to preserve the scene.

  • Cost-effective flexibility: We scale to fit the project. Whether you need a handful of cleaned shots for a short film or extended invisible work across a feature, you get the same technical care without the overhead of a full studio pipeline.

  • Minimal setup, professional output: We don’t force large rigid pipelines or lengthy onboarding. Small crews and indie producers get fast turnarounds, clear deliverables, and a workflow that plugs into existing post schedules.

  • Predictable scope & pricing: Work is scoped per shot or per deliverable, with transparent estimates for hours and compositing complexity. This keeps budgets manageable while maintaining quality.

How we integrate with your production

  • Early collaboration: Consult on practical shooting choices (coverage, marker placement, lens/plate references) to minimize post time and cost.

  • Clear handoffs: Provide technical specs for plates, EXR/DPX/ProRes deliverables, and LUTs to ensure consistency across editorial and DI.

  • Iterative feedback: Versions delivered with adjustable passes (beauty, cleanplate, matte, alpha) so creative and film teams can approve incremental refinements.

  • Delivery-ready masters: Final composites prepared to project color space and delivery format, including matching grain, color, and temporal cadence for seamless integration.

Typical use cases

  • Removing modern elements from period pieces (signage, cars, modern clothing).

  • Hiding rigging and safety equipment in action or stunt sequences.

  • Fixing wardrobe continuity, stray reflections, and boom shadows.

  • Replacing or cleaning set details for mood and narrative clarity.

  • Plate-based extensions where only small, invisible integration is required.

Tools & standards

  • Industry-standard compositing and tracking toolset, careful color-managed workflows, and frame-accurate QC. Deliverables tailored to editorial, color grading, and distribution needs.

If you need discreet, production-minded VFX that respect performance, budget, and schedule — from single-shot paint-outs to extended invisible work across a feature — Double Frame provides professional compositing and cleanup services designed for independent filmmakers and small production teams.
