PILLAR FX is a matchmove studio in the Media District in Burbank, a few minutes from the lots we work for. Every shot is handled by senior artists based right here, people you can actually pick up the phone and talk to.
Nothing gets shipped overseas. No overnight black box. Just clean tracks that are ready to render, delivered in your timezone, and built to hold up through every round of notes.
And since we are minutes from the lots, we can meet in person to walk through your project before plates ever turn over. Need coverage on the day? We offer on set supervision, so camera data, lens info, and reference are captured right the first time.

publish.
Send plates or a cut. We scope it per shot and get a clear bid back, usually within an hour.
