MATTE PAINTING
With a full time matte painter, SeaHorse Films believes matte painting is one of the most valuable, dramatic, and cost effective assets in cinema and television today. From extending a set or location, to recreating scenes from the past, or creating entire worlds in the future, matte painting offers a visual range and scope otherwise implausible or unaffordable in most productions.

3D
Whatever world you can imagine, we can create in 3D. From immersive, photo real environments to real life characters, our 3D CG department can make it happen. The more important question is what needs to be 3D and what can be created in live action, miniatures, matte painting, and compositing. In a digital world where anything is possible, it's the 3D conceptual design and planning of our experienced artists that makes the difference -- saving time and money and creating the most satisfying experience

COMPOSITING
The most amazing and memorable visual sequences are often a carefully integrated combination of elements layered and massaged together into a seamless mind blowing experience. At SeaHorse Films, all our artists are connected -- online in real time -- so that 3D, Matte Painting, Editorial, and Compositing can work together, crafting each element, layer, and image into the perfect seamless shot.

VIRTUAL BACKLOT
The SeaHorse Films Virtual Backlot is a valuable asset in any production. More than just green screen, our proprietary Virtual Backlot creates an immersive, 3D environment which can be photographed from any angle, moving in and around objects, in a complete 360º world. Combining matte paintings, green screen elements, and photo real 3D models, any world can be created or extended within the challenging budgets and schedules of film or television.
