When we say we’re experts in large-format VFX work, we mean it! It doesn’t get much larger than 16K × 16K, and when you’re operating at 270 million pixels per frame on a screen the size of a city block, there’s a true art to making it come together.

And that work begins long before the first shot has been rendered. https://causeandfx.nz/news/what-working-at-16x16k-taught-us

We’re excited to see a truly inimitable American classic novel East of Eden committed to screen and filmed right here in New Zealand!

Produced by Netflix and shot in Oamaru, Dunedin and Auckland, Steinbeck’s sprawling classic is set hit home screens in 2026, so keep an eye out!
