TRANSCRIPT
The Artery VFX creates high-end visual content for feature films, commercials, digital experiences, art installations and music videos.
Led by Vico Sharabani and Yfat Neev in our NY studio, we offer custom-tailored A-teams and unique production pipelines to efficiently deliver the highest level of work based on every project's needs.
We combine the most sought after talent with the latest technologies, in a modern business model to achieve outstanding results.
Introduction
As The Artery VFX shares space with Light Iron, we are able to provide clients a vast array of efficient and
integrated services that separate facilities are not able to. Including your editorial into the fold would result in a
pipeline where assets are immediately available for inclusion, and explorations that include visual effects can be
populated more readily. For instance we could have our pre-vis and concept artists staged just down the hall.
Turnaround time is significantly reduced. Conforms can be updated with the latest work in minutes versus
hours or even days.
Beyond traditional digital visual effects, The Artery VFX also provides the following creative and management
services:
+ Concept Art & Pre-Visualization
+ VFX Management and Imaging (Internal and External Facilities)
+ VFX Supervision & Direction (Internal and External Facilities)
+ VFX Editorial (integrating into production editorial)
