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.

What paint and cleanup services does Lucid Nepal offer?

Lucid Nepal offers comprehensive paint and cleanup outsourcing including wire removal, rig removal, reflection removal, crew and object removal, dust and scratch removal, and beauty fixes such as digital makeup, wrinkle cleanup, and tattoo removal — all delivered frame-accurately at theatrical quality.

Can Lucid Nepal handle matchmove outsourcing for large productions?

Yes. Lucid Nepal provides professional matchmove outsourcing including 2D tracking, 3D camera tracking, object tracking, and deformation tracking. Our scalable pipeline handles high shot counts for feature films and episodic streaming productions.

How does Lucid Nepal integrate with existing VFX pipelines?

Lucid Nepal operates as a remote VFX pipeline partner, integrating with your existing tools and workflows. We support ACES-compliant colour pipelines, secure encrypted file delivery, and cross-timezone collaboration. Our team adapts to your naming conventions, software preferences, and delivery formats.

What makes Lucid Nepal different from other VFX outsourcing companies?

Lucid Nepal combines 13+ years of VFX outsourcing experience, European QC standards, Hollywood production credits, and the cost advantage of Kathmandu-based operations. We are a full-time studio with long-term artists — not a freelance marketplace — ensuring consistent quality and institutional knowledge on every project.

How much does VFX outsourcing cost at Lucid Nepal?

Pricing depends on shot complexity, volume, turnaround time, and service type. Lucid Nepal offers competitive rates significantly below US and UK market rates while maintaining Hollywood-quality output. Contact us with your shot list and we will provide a detailed quote within 24 hours.

What is Rotoscoping Outsourcing?

Rotoscoping is the frame-by-frame process of drawing precise masks around subjects or objects in live-action footage to extract them from their background or isolate them for VFX treatment. In modern film and television, rotoscoping is used to create clean mattes for compositing, to extract actors from greenscreen shots where keying alone is insufficient, and to isolate elements for colour correction or visual effects integration. High-quality rotoscoping is invisible — when done well, the audience never notices it. Outsourcing your rotoscoping to a dedicated studio like Lucid Nepal allows your in-house team to focus on creative work while ensuring your roto shots are delivered on time and to studio-grade quality standards.

Why Outsource Rotoscoping to Lucid Nepal?

Rotoscoping is labour-intensive, time-consuming, and repetitive — making it ideal for outsourcing. By partnering with Lucid Nepal for your roto outsourcing, you gain access to a full team of dedicated roto artists, faster turnaround times through our optimised pipeline, and consistent frame-level quality on every shot. Our rates are competitive compared to US and UK studios, without any compromise on output quality.
