Production / Technology / Craft
Built Around the Image.
Onsetology combines physical production, virtual production, AI-assisted image work, VFX, and finishing around the needs of a specific story. The method changes. The production discipline does not.
01 / Capabilities
Four Connected Services.
01
AI-Assisted Physical Production
Live-action filmmaking planned from the start for selective AI enhancement, set extension, and post-production flexibility.
02Virtual Production
A production workflow that connects physical performance and camera craft with controllable digital environments.
03AI Post-Production & VFX
Shot-specific AI, compositing, visual effects, color, and finishing built around the needs of the edit.
04Creative Development & Previsualization
Visual development that turns an ambitious idea into a shootable plan before production resources are committed.
02 / Production Model
One Plan from Development Through Delivery.
Every project begins with the creative and production problem. We assign physical capture, virtual production, AI, VFX, and finishing only where each method adds a clear advantage, then design the handoffs before production begins.
Design
Build the visual target and choose the right production method for each important shot.
Produce
Protect performance, cinematography, source material, and the information post will need.
Finish
Review motion in context, resolve continuity, complete color, and prepare final masters.
03 / Questions
Before We Begin.
What does Onsetology produce?
Onsetology develops and produces campaigns, film, television, and short-form visual work using physical production, virtual production, AI-assisted workflows, VFX, and post-production as the project requires.
Where is Onsetology based?
Onsetology is headquartered in Los Angeles, with production hubs in London and Shanghai for regional production support.
Does every project use AI?
No. Technology is selected around the creative and production problem. Some projects are primarily physical, while others use virtual production, AI-assisted post, animation, VFX, or a hybrid workflow.
When should Onsetology join a project?
Early development is ideal for ambitious hybrid work, but the team can also evaluate an existing treatment, script, boards, edit, or set of plates and recommend a practical next step.
How do we start a project conversation?
Send a brief, treatment, script, reference, schedule, or initial question to hello@onsetology.com. The first response will focus on scope, production method, timing, and the information needed for a useful recommendation.
