we understand production

Our wealth of experience means we understand the limitations and pressures commonly faced in Post Production roles, such as;

  • Increasing pressure from Producers and Networks to see mock-ups of VFX in screenings.
  • Fixed editing schedules are too often time-crunched causing extra stress and sub-standard VFX work.
  • Making expensive edit decisions in the Online, because the timing was not right in the Offline (no VFX mock-up).

visual jigsaw will eliminate these inefficiencies through:

  • Providing conceptual VFX mock ups for Producer and Network screenings. 
  • Early checking and corrections of your VFX, which means not having to compromise on the quality of VFX, producing the best results within your time and budget.

 

Working with visual jigsaw means a reduction of pressure during the Post Production process,
replacing the adequate with the exceptional.

testimonials

“”Belinda was a pleasure to deal with whilst we were working across several hundred VFX shots on Halifax | Retribution at Blue Post Production. This could quite easily have become a a real headache without the right VFX Editor overseeing the process. She was across it all, from shoot right through to the final delivery and was only too happy to offer her ideas and years of wisdom at the drop-off a hat. It made the entire job a real joy to work on.””

Jamie Scott – VFX Artist

“Belinda was not only a total pleasure to work with on Miss Fisher & the Crypt of Tears, but she also pulled us out of many tight spots and hurdles we would otherwise have run into. Belinda is professional, level-headed, with an eye for the smallest detail. She was extremely diligent and caring of her role, and was always equipped with a sense of humour and a solution to every problem, even during the hardest of workflows and turnarounds.”

Every Cloud Productions

“Belinda Fithie has worked with me over the past five in many roles; Post Supervisor, Editor and VFX Editor. As a Colourist it is always reassuring knowing that she will be part of the post-production team. In her most recent role as VFX Editor on Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears her many skills combined to make her extremely thorough and knowledgeable. Such professionalism and experience combine to ensure production companies will save a great deal of time and stress and undoubtedly help with their ever-tightening budgets.”
