What is VFX outsourcing?

VFX outsourcing means contracting a specialist studio — like Lucid Nepal — to handle visual effects work remotely. Studios outsource tasks such as rotoscoping, paint/cleanup, matchmove, and compositing to reduce costs, access specialised talent, and scale production capacity without hiring permanently.

Lucid Nepal has specialised in rotoscoping outsourcing since 2011. Our artists deliver VFX roto, stereo roto, and green/blue screen keying at Hollywood QC standards. Competitive pricing, fast turnarounds, and consistent quality make us a preferred roto outsource partner for feature films, TV series, and commercials.

What paint and cleanup services does Lucid Nepal offer?

What is Paint & Cleanup Outsourcing?

Paint and cleanup is the art of removing unwanted elements from film frames — wire rigs, safety harnesses, camera shadows, crew reflections, tracking markers, and modern objects that break period continuity. It is one of the most demanding disciplines in VFX: every frame must be reconstructed from surrounding imagery, ensuring the removed element leaves no visible trace across motion and changing light conditions. Paint and cleanup work is critical on action sequences with wire work, period productions requiring modern element removal, and any shot where practical rigs must be hidden in post-production.

Why Outsource Paint to Lucid Nepal?

Paint and cleanup work is volume-intensive — a single action sequence may require hundreds of individual cleanup frames. Outsourcing to Lucid Nepal lets you scale your cleanup pipeline without growing your in-house team. Our artists are trained on all major paint software, understand the requirements of theatrical delivery, and consistently hit tight post-production deadlines.
