Company mission

To accelerate Visual Effects (VFX) in the Film and TV industry with AI, building tooling to match the high production standards of Hollywood, automating the tedious technical tasks and letting filmmakers get back to telling stories.

Our take

Drawing from the camera-to-post experience used by major industry players like Netflix, Amazon, and Disney, among others, Electric Sheep identified an opportunity to confront the common challenges faced in the Visual Effects (VFX) realm through the power of emerging AI technology.

Driven by its commitment to propel the Visual Effects industry forward, Electric Sheep prioritises speed, security, and scalability, with the ultimate goal of streamlining Film/TV workflows. As the company sets out on its journey, its initial focus revolves around the process of rotoscoping - an animation technique where animators trace over motion picture footage, frame by frame, to create lifelike action sequences.

Though it is a relatively new player in the market, Electric Sheep embraces this position with ambition. Fueling its aspiration is its dedication to advancing the field and envisioning a future where its innovative technologies redefine the landscape of Film/TV workflows. As the company continues to refine and expand its offerings, there is excitement and anticipation surrounding the possibilities.
