Why big ronin?

We love movies. We love them so much that we were not content by simply watching them, but we decided to become actively involved in the most technologically-involved part of the filmmaking process: Visual Effects (VFX).

Before forming Big Ronin, each of us have individually contributed to the visuals of many award-winning movies, commercials and TV series, exponentially expanding our experience and skill-sets over the course of over 15 years. However, we’ve also witnessed the increasing bureaucracy of the movie industry, steadily stifling the creative vision of the artists that work so hard to bring the projects they work on to life.

As such, we’ve decided to forge our own path.

At Big Ronin, we are driven by a philosophy of fierce independence, unwavering integrity, and ruthless efficiency.

Our passions range from the artistic to the scientific, whether it’s film, animation, physics, mathematics, or artificial intelligence. Simply put, our passions and our work-ethic are inseparable.

Combining multiple decades of experience in the VFX industry with a burning desire to empower the creative spirit, we aim to create new paradigms of digital artistry, technical wizardry, and cinematic storytelling.

SERVICES

  • VISUAL EFFECTS

    One of our strengths at Big Ronin is the ability to create complex simulations, allowing us to artistically control organic elements such as smoke, fire, explosions, and water.

  • DIGITAL CHARACTERS

    We pride ourselves with having some of the best modelers, animators, and lighting artists in the industry, whose passion for creating compelling characters has allowed them to be at the forefront of digital character creation.

  • CG Environments

    We are able to create completely computer-generated environments that would give our clients a greater degree of control over how their projects look and feel, allowing them to achieve a deeper sense of immersion and engagement with their stories.

  • PREVISUALIZATION

    We are well-versed with creating visuals that have just enough visual fidelity to give the client the closest possible representation to what their projects will look like, giving them time to adjust the visuals before committing a significant amount of resources to finalizing their creative vision.

  • concept art

    A crucial step towards translating the client’s vision into complex visuals, our concept artists use a combination of digital and traditional painting techniques to create artwork that will inspire the look and feel of the client’s project.

  • movie production

    We are taking steps to cut through the bureaucracy of conventional movie production by seamlessly integrating pre-production, production, and post-production under the same roof, all the while preserving the creative integrity of our projects.
