It is finally here, and the results are fantastic. We’re proud to celebrate the release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps and the incredible work our team delivered over nearly two years of visualization on the project. Led by Visualization Supervisor Patrick Haskew and his lead Pat Gehlen — affectionately known as "The Pats" — our team helped shape the film’s visual language from the earliest stages. We’re deeply grateful to Marvel Studios for their exceptional support throughout the process. Director Matt Shakman was a dream collaborator, bringing deep understanding and respect for visualization and empowering our team to do our best work. A special thank you to VFX Producers Cyndi Ochs and Lisa Marra for their steadfast support, and to VFX Supervisor Scott Stokdyk for his guidance, insight, and trust in our creative and technical contributions. Congratulations to everyone involved — we’re honored to have been part of the journey.

We’re proud to share that The Third Floor helped bring some serious heart to the action on Ironheart, now streaming on Disney+. Our team, led by Visualization Supervisor Paul Berry, provided Previs and Postvis across the series—visualizing high-tech suit action and helping define how Ironheart’s unique style takes shape on screen. Huge shout-out to VFX Supervisor Greg Steele and VFX Producer David Bosco for our second collaboration with them, and to Marvel Studios and The Walt Disney Company for inviting us to help shape this exciting new chapter in the MCU.

We’re excited to share a new behind-the-scenes visualization reel from Twisters (2024)! In this video, you'll see how The Third Floor supported the filmmaking process through Previs and Postvis—visualizing key sequences from early concept through to final picture. This comparison highlights how visualization helped shape the storm-chasing action that defines the film. A huge thank you to Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Entertainment, and Amblin Entertainment, and to director Lee Isaac Chung for the opportunity to collaborate on this thrilling sequel. Under the guidance of Visualization Supervisor James Willingham III, our team worked closely with filmmakers throughout the process. We also want to recognize VFX Supervisor Ben Snow, VFX Producer Mark Soper, and the incredible team at Industrial Light & Magic for their amazing work bringing the storm to life. Plus, this reel features music from Luke Combs, whose powerful track brings even more energy to the piece. https://lnkd.in/guDrjYWP
