The Complete Package: Advertising Finishing / VFX + Color at Company 3
Company 3 has long been the industry standard for color, and its finishing pipeline is no different. A dedicated team of finishing artists brings the same level of craft to the full spectrum of post-production and VFX work—handling everything from a one-hour paint fix to multi-month global campaigns—all under one roof, through a single internal pipeline, and elevated by the deep expertise of its feature and episodic teams.
Operating across studios in Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta, with virtual access available through any Company 3 Virtual Outpost, the team is built to meet any project at any scale.
The results speak for themselves. Recent work includes Venmo’s relatable Between Friends starring Rachel Sennott and Jordan Firstman; Ludacris’s Pull Over music video; Tonal’s collaboration with The Mandalorian; a very of-the-moment Hims & Hers spot, Eat the Rich; along with projects for brands as diverse as Apple, Nike, BMW, Pepsi, and Adidas—spanning compositing, beauty work, VFX, and final fixes, all on tight deadlines.
Meghan Lang, SVP and Global Managing Director of Advertising, emphasizes that finishing and VFX are a core pillar of the company’s identity and client offering. “Everyone knows us for color—but our finishing artists are honestly the secret weapon that doesn’t get talked about enough. They’re the unsung heroes behind some of the world’s best post-production work.”
This dedication to excellence across every stage of the post-production process is championed from the very top of the organization. CEO Stefan Sonnenfeld comments: “Finishing is a core focus for us, and we have assembled an incredible team of artists across our regions to support it. By offering world-class finishing talent alongside our color pipeline, we ensure that our clients’ projects benefit from maximum creative synergy, agility, and technical excellence from start to finish.”
That expertise spans the full range of 2D finishing disciplines—compositing, matte painting, image cleanup, rig and wire removal, beauty work, versioning, and final delivery—ensuring every frame meets the highest standard before it leaves the building.
