The world-leading visual effects and postproduction company started in Brisbane with a dream of exporting from Queensland - and it's a dream they’ve realised with a global footprint spanning from Los Angeles to Tokyo.
This incredible international growth would not have been possible without the export advisory services of Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ), according to Alt.vfx Co-Founder and Executive producer, Takeshi Takada.
“Without TIQ I don’t think we would be connected at the global level as we are today and we are very thankful for TIQ’s effort in connecting us with the world," he said.
When exporting to Japan was made easier
The state’s global business agency has been particularly supportive with Alt.vfx’s ambitions in exporting to Japan.
“TIQ has been really helpful in building our network around the globe, especially in the Japanese market.”
“TIQ was an integral part of cementing our business with Netflix Japan, we have already won two major projects with them and without the key meeting organised by TIQ, it wouldn’t have happened.”

Pioneers in visual effects with global recognition
Visual effects are all around us in modern society, from cinema and television right the way through to digital advertising, and are used to create environments, objects, creatures and even characters that would be impossible or impractical to capture on film.
Alt.vfx’s export success has spanned projects including Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and virtual production for global clients including Nissan, Toyota and Cadbury.
The quality of their work was recently celebrated at the Premier of Queensland’s Export Awards 2024, where they were crowned winners of the Creative Industries category.
