VFX Capabilities 2026 A NEW
KIND OF
VFX
STUDIO Our industry is broken. The cracks were there before COVID, before the strikes, but those crises have made it clear that something has to change. No one’s sure what comes next, but it's not going to be the same as what came before.

We launched Mosaic Studios believing that we could build something different: something more adaptive, producing better work, more efficiently.

The team behind Mosaic began building a scalable, cloud-based infrastructure as Assembly VFX with great success. Unfortunately our parent company, Assembly, became one of the casualties of the industry crisis, closing after a catastrophic flood at the end of 2024. But the VFX team wasn't willing to let what we’d built go to waste. The creative, production and technical teams behind Assembly VFX rebuilt under new ownership.

The result is Mosaic Studios, a lighter, more nimble company, laser-focused on what we love doing: visual effects.

Our studio is owned and operated by the people who do the work: artists, producers, developers. We don't answer to anyone — except our clients.

We take initiative. We take risks. We always have each other’s back. And together, we punch far above our weight. We’re excited for what the future holds. WHY US? Sometimes the difference is in who you work with. We’re about the work, not the egos. We try to make it as fun and as easy as we can. We think of our clients as partners and collaborators; and we are as attuned to schedules, communication and easy turnovers as we are to the intricacies of our effects work. We hope we’ll have the chance to work together.
Innovative Independent We’re owned and led by a team of artists, developers and producers with decades of collective experience. Our diverse backgrounds yield unique perspectives and unexpected solutions. Where other companies see limitations, we see possibilities.
We started Mosaic Studios with an idea that if we put technology and artistry on an equal footing we could create award-winning work faster and more efficiently, without sacrificing quality. Our architecture means we can adapt our pipeline to suit the needs of any project, at any size.
Good people Collaborative We believe there’s strength in diverse viewpoints. Because we see things from different angles, we know that there’s more than one way to solve a problem. We listen first and tailor our projects to our clients’ needs. And we know that the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts.

Pipelines VFX CAPABILITIES Mosaic’s cloud-based pipeline offers more than just rapid scalability—it enables us to tailor custom pipelines and project plans to the needs of each project.

For our Emmy Award-winning work on Ripley, Mosaic Studios developed a bespoke pipeline and project plan, effectively integrating our team as an in-house VFX department for the production.

Mosaic supervisors and leads collaborated directly with director Steve Zaillian in the post-production offices defining the look, while our remote team implemented approved shots across sequences, all operating within our secure cloud infrastructure but physically located in New York to qualify for local post-production tax credits.

This unique model provided the convenience of an in-house team while leveraging the power of a large-scale VFX facility: advanced software, technical support, production management tools, and a high-performance render farm.

The result: a team of just 14 people completed nearly 1,000 shots over the course of the series. Thank you ©2026 - Mosaic Studios LLC
