Your vision is our business.

Rake FX is where creative storytelling and technical artistry team-up on a daily basis. We provide bespoke visual effects for film, television, advertising, games, or any other medium where amazing images are a requirement, not a suggestion.

We offer a number of creative services with an emphasis on:

Full CG Environments and set extensions
FX simulations and crowds
Prosthetic and digi-double augmentations
Compositing

If your needs aren't an obvious match to the above categories or you're having trouble defining what is required for your project in the first place, don't fret. We would love to

hear about your project and chat about potential solutions.
