What VertigoFX does

VertigoFX is a boutique visual effects studio headquartered in Tijuana, Mexico, founded in 2017 by professional VFX artists whose prior experience includes Method, Scanline, MPC, and Rodeo FX. The studio produces visual effects for television series, feature films, short films, music videos, and commercials, with publicly visible credits spanning Netflix ('Who Killed Sarah?', 'The Gringos Hunter'), Apple TV+ ('Outer Range', 'See'), and Amazon Prime ('Outer Range', 'The Gringos Hunter'), as well as independent feature films such as 'Sanctorum' and 'Blast Beat'. Core technical work encompasses matte painting projected onto geometry, digital composition, animation, and lighting integration to blend VFX elements with live-action footage; a documented case study is the storm sequence in 'Sanctorum', where roughly four artists produced an extended storm sequence in under three months using layered cylinders, particle work, and animated lightning.

The company operates a project-based custom pricing model under multi-year engagement patterns with no publicly disclosed rates, generating revenue through one-off VFX production contracts negotiated directly with production companies and streaming platforms. Go-to-market is direct and digital-first: the company website lists a contact form with options to propose projects, request the portfolio, or apply to join the team, supplemented by an organic social presence on Facebook and Vimeo for top-of-funnel showcasing of completed work, and direct email outreach as the mid-funnel conversion channel. VertigoFX positions itself in the marketplace as a boutique alternative to large international VFX houses, emphasizing creative integration with directors' vision and narrative tone, and self-identifies as one of the most prominent VFX boutiques in Latin America with a nomination for best visual effects since inception.
