What is VFX outsourcing?

VFX outsourcing is hiring a remote specialist studio to handle visual effects tasks — such as rotoscoping, paint and cleanup, matchmove, and compositing — on your behalf.

Lucid Nepal has provided VFX outsourcing services from Kathmandu, Nepal since 2011, serving film studios and broadcasters worldwide.
