About Matte World Digital

Matte World Digital was formed in 1988 by Industrial Light + Magic alumni who set out to create and develop the most realistic visual effects shots possible while still remaining affordable. The company is available for all types of projects, including non-effects driven pictures that need visual-effects shots. Craig Barron, founder and visual effects supervisor, is an Academy-Award winner for his visual effects work in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

For more than 20 years, we've designed and produced digital visual effects for films, television, commercials, interactive formats, and special projects by using the latest techniques in digital compositing and computer graphics. MWD began in gone from critically acclaimed classic effects-work in Batman Returns and Clear and Present Danger, to digitally rendered effects for such highly-regarded films as Martin Scorsese's Casino, and David Fincher's Zodiac, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

We offer a full spectrum of visual effects services. As consultants, we work with the director and staff to develop their vision and find solutions that remain within the production's budget. We create a budget and break-down of effects within the script, as well as design, develop and produce shots. We provide camera equipment and trained crews for plate photography on location, and we offer blue and green screen facilities in our own studios.

Our clients have included Disney, Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Amblin Entertainment, Castle Rock Entertainment, Morgan Creek, American Zoetrope and Warner Brothers. We've done commercial work for AT&T, Coca Cola and Honda, as well as the effects in Michael Jackson's Black or White music video. We have worked with the most highly acclaimed directors of our time to put their ideas on the screen.
