Here's a quick breakdown of our Caladan graveyard composite in Dune 1. CG gravestones & ocean matte painting and lots of roto.
It's time to start dancing into these breakdowns :-) Here's one of the many shots we provided for the series of Jen & Daredevil. Lots more to come soon! Final composite and blue screen plate.
Check out our new mugs! Don’t ask what we’re working on, just know it’ll blow your mind one day. Thanks
We love our AMD and Lenovo hardware. Here's a company showcase we did with them, includes some breakdowns of our work on

Thank you for the meeting today. Lots of exciting things to come!
Thanks for the end credits shoutout :-)
Team She-Hulk forever! We have provided 1,926 VFX shots to the series. Roughly 1500 postvis shots and 426 VFX finals. It’s been an incredible adventure, we love the and can’t thank Marvel enough for letting us join the green team.
This is Li Li, one of our incredible She-Hulk animators. She's one of the best in the business, a true Rockstar! She animated 100s of postvis She-Hulk shots to help nail down performance and timing cues.
We provided 100s & 100s of postvis shots for . We provided twice as many finals. Here's another before and after. The final shot in the film looked nearly the same, with better edges :-)
Here's a breakdown of an Ornithopter shot we created for . This showcases the huge benefit of the sand screen, no despill required and we kept most of the in camera reflections

Our resident mad scientist Paul Lambert came up with the sand screen idea. If you invert the colors of a sand screen, it's a blue screen. We call them the screens of Ibad :-) These images are from our work on

We created this 3d logo for EGO power tools based on creative from Exec. creative director & film director Shane Valdez at Realm Agency. Ego tools are the best.
As simple as A over B. (not exactly) Getting a blue screen comp pixel perfect takes dedication, relentless perfection. The devil is in the edges (or details)
Best reason to shoot on a blue screen over a virtual production stage; options in post. We provided this car comp for Terminator, we created over a 100 versions of the background.
We developed these two low-fi game characters for Dir. Eli Sokhn at Badass Kid Productions for his Hooked music video. Jamie O'Hara was our concept/lookdev artist at Wylie Co..
THIS IS POSTVIS. We try and get our postvis to 80% final quality within a few hours or days depending on complexity. That can be a mighty task.
Our postvis team is best-in-class. Phenomenal artists with years and years of feature vfx experience. Our postvis locks in the layout and timing for finished vfx.
We're very serious about our car comps. It's actually something we specialize in. We believe a single bad car comp can ruin a movie. We go above & beyond to ensure our car comps feel natural and pixel perfect.
We crafted some nifty backgrounds for Sky Hunter a while back in 2017. Check out these before and after images. Wisps, wings & snowy mountains. It was a fun project with over 60 shots of action. Directed by Chen Li.
Did you know that Wylie Co. founder Jacob Maymudes is also a Los Angeles Times bestselling author? (Last place on the LA Times best seller list for a single week, but whose really keeping track? hehe)
In 2014 Jacob compiled his father, Victor Maymudes’, fragmented writings and tape recordings to shape a vivid memoir of his close relationship to the legendary songwriter Bob Dylan. “Another Side of Bob Dylan: A Personal History on the Road and off the Tracks” went on to be a success two fold, both in adding a unique perspective to the pantheon of “Dylanology” as well as an ode to his father’s life and travels.
Following the success of his best seller, Jacob went on to express the creative side of his writing. His 2014 short story, “Eggnorm Hassell: An Oddly Extraordinary Tale,” brings you into the world of Eggnorm, a recluse toll booth operator in San Francisco whose mundane life takes a comedic twist. In an instant he's thrown into a crime mystery. In one hand, his own safety and in the other, the fate of a beautiful Spanish girl. With time running out, he must decide who's life to save.
Paul & Mags don't get to spend much time in the office since they're always on set in some far away place, this was a little break between the Oscar's ceremony and flying out to another shoot.

Behind the scenes of a commercial shoot. Mirrors and magical waterfalls. Lots of post work to do!
Wylie is very happy to announce the three new additions to our rapidly growing team of artists. We welcome back Senior Compositor Dan Lang, Unreal Engine artist Bryan Bigler and VFX Supe Elliott Brennan. All great artists in their own right that bring loads of personality to the studio!
Behind the scenes of the Why Don't We music video HOOKED! So much fun to shoot! Check out the finished video on Youtube! It's already racked up 57 million views, no biggie :-)
Did you know? Wylie Co. is named after founder Jacob Maymudes' daughter Wylie Maymudes. Here she is making friends with Paul's Oscar.
We believe AI, computer vision and machine learning are the future of visual effects. Our VFX Supe and Creative Director put our computers to work, figuring out human poses on the fly from footage taken with a single smartphone camera. We are currently hiring computer vison researchers, DM us!
Mohammed aka Moe, the best 1st AD in the biz!
We sometimes need to shoot our own elements for VFX, and fortunately Wylie Co. has full filming capabilities and the knowledge to light and capture it correctly. Here is an example of a makeshift greenscreen on our patio for blood splatter elements.
We wanted to share some clips for an EGO campaign we finished earlier this year! We love working with and on these projects. They are always a lot of fun, and we get a lot of creative freedom!
A huge benefit of doing postvis for a film like 'Terminator: Dark Fate’ is being able to review your edit without distractions of raw VFX plates containing bluescreens and mocap suits. It really helps directors focus on the story, which is what we are all about here at !
We ❤️ robots.
