VFX & Cleanup in United States
Blackbyrds Digital does commercial VFX and cleanup for US agencies, production companies, and brands from Silang, Cavite in the Philippines: logo, sign, and boom-mic removal, tracked screen replacement, green screen, sky and background swaps, 3D product shots, and motion graphics. AI drafts the first pass, then a compositor finishes and checks every frame. Each shot is graded before work starts and priced from the USD book, from $150 for a simple shot, and agencies can run a VFX Desk of shot credits from $1,590 / mo.
Why here
Why this works for United States.
Most of what needs fixing after a US shoot is not glamorous: a brand logo on a T-shirt that legal never cleared, a boom dipping into the hero take, a phone screen that has to show the app’s new interface, a sky that went flat on the one day you had the location. These are small problems with a deadline attached, usually found in the edit with the delivery date already set. That is the work we are built for. Each shot is graded simple, medium, or complex against the examples on our price list before anyone touches it, so a producer can put the fix into a change order with a number attached instead of waiting on a bid.
The clock does the rest. Philippine time is 12 to 13 hours ahead of the East Coast and 15 to 16 ahead of the West, so a shot sent from Los Angeles at the end of the day arrives around the start of ours, and one sent from New York arrives before it. The compositor works during your night and the watermarked review render is on the link when your team logs on. Prices are in dollars, invoices are in dollars, and payment is by Wise or PayPal. There is no US office: the work is done in Silang, Cavite.
We are not a feature-film or streaming vendor. Work that needs a studio security assessment, EXR and ACES shot-tracking pipelines, full CG creatures, or large fire and water simulations belongs with a different kind of studio, and we say so before you send the plates. Face replacement, de-aging, and voice changes are done only with written consent from the person on screen, naming the uses.
How the work runs.
Graded and priced before work starts
A shot runs up to about 8 seconds. A simple shot is $150, a medium shot $480, and a complex shot is quoted from $1,200 after we watch the footage. Every shot includes 2 revision rounds, and extra rounds are priced on the list rather than argued about.
Your night, our working day
Frame-accurate notes left on the watermarked render at the end of your day are picked up at the start of ours. Simple shots take 2 – 3 business days, medium shots 3 – 5 business days; the time zone decides when the work happens, not how long it is promised to take.
Product shots without a product shoot
For DTC and e-commerce brands, a 3D product packshot is from $850: your product modelled from photos or CAD, then three hero stills or a 5 – 8 second turntable. Your real product and label, never an invented version of it.
A desk for agencies that resell VFX
US agencies and production companies can run a VFX Desk: a block of shot credits from $1,590 / mo, delivered unbranded under your name, with review through your team and billing to your agency, never your client.

How it works with a team in the Philippines.
Plates sent at the end of a US working day reach Silang before or around the start of our day, 12 to 16 hours ahead depending on the coast and the season, and the compositing runs through your night.

VFX FAQ
Common questions.
Can you remove a logo or a brand we did not clear?
Yes. On a stable shot that is a simple shot at $150. If the camera moves a lot or something passes in front of the logo, it usually becomes a medium shot at $480, and we tell you which before work starts. Whether the finished shot then clears is a decision for your legal or clearance team, not for us.
Do you take broadcast and streaming work from US production companies?
Commercial work, yes: ads, brand films, and social, delivered in the format and resolution you shot. Feature-film and streaming packages that require a studio security assessment are outside what we do, and we would rather tell you that before the plates are sent than after.
How do US clients pay for VFX?
In dollars, from the published per-shot list, by Wise or PayPal. Review renders are watermarked and clean files are released once the invoice is paid. Agencies on a VFX Desk pay monthly for the block of credits.
Can you change a face or a voice in the shot?
Only with written consent from the person on screen that names the specific uses, and never to show a real person saying or doing something they did not. Political and news-style fabrication is declined outright, whoever asks.
