We are supported by a technology team who provide a state-of-the-art platform of cutting edge technology, to help our clients realize their creative vision on screen. With headquarters in Santa Monica and operations in Vancouver and London, HALON employs a core team of artists specializing in Storyboarding, Pitchvis, Previs, Postvis, Techvis, VFX, and Game Cinematics. Customizable and scalable to meet the specific needs of any production, we believe in dedicating a team to your project, ensuring creative continuity from start to finish. At HALON, we combine industry leading animation, design and real time game engine software with robust project management systems, and HALON’s extensive archive of digital assets, HAL (Halon Asset Library).

Every project benefits from HALON’s leading creative solutions for rapid animation, high fidelity rendering, and reality capture systems for real-time capture of actor performances and camera tracks. The combination of these tools allows creatives to block actors, explore sets and discover their virtual world in a hands-on interactive process that can mirror any real world set.
