About Us
The object is not to make the tree look like a bonsai, but to make the bonsai look like a tree. John Naka
Our Philosophy
Bonsai FX is a Visual Effects studio dedicated specifically to the independent filmmaker community. Small, low-budget films can’t afford the services of ILM, but still require the integration of VFX to help tell their story.
We can help.
If visual effects are new to you, we can assist in the planning, design, and execution of your effects. We have a dedicated visual effect supervisor and digital imaging technician (DIT) who are available to assist you on set, ensuring successful post-production results. Our team have collectively integrated VFX into dozens of films and we can help make YOUR film better.
