Visual Effects
Visual Effects creation has been the foundation of Altitude FX since we were established in 2006. Our motto has always been 'To push the limits to which an image can be fabricated or manipulated on a given budget.'
Award-winning VFX Supervisor and Lead Artist Daniel Luke Fitch has been integrating CGI with live-action footage for more than a decade; we also specialize in greenscreen photography and compositing, rotoscoping, color correction, firearm FX, and much more. See our demo reel and IMDB Credits.

Animation and Titles
Our animation capabilities cover everything from traditional hand-drawn material to advanced CGI. Clients frequently turn to Altitude FX for dynamic titles, character and lip-sync animation, motion capture editing, and video game visualizations. Daniel Luke Fitch studied under Academy Award-winning animator John Canemaker at NYU before founding Altitude-FX, and today the company strives to integrate that traditional background with the computer-driven future.
Production
16mm and MiniDV were the staples of our early film shoots; today we specialize in RED cinematography and lightweight/mobile production. We equipped to send a crew, camera/grip truck, and post-production services anywhere in the American Southwest. In addition to working out of Santa Fe, our team has also shot extensively throughout North America, Asia, Africa, and Europe. As with all our services, production support is eligible for the 25% New Mexico Film Credit.
Our studio features a 180º greenscreen studio and lighting grid.
Aerial Photography
Few companies can claim to represent an 'Award Winning Aerial Photography Team'… but not only has Altitude FX been honored the top prize in an international competition, our RC pilots have more than two decades of combined experience. The 'Aerial 51' fleet of aircraft can carry anything from a GoPro to a RED Epic with cinema lens, and we are happy to serve as aerial consultants to any production. Best of all, we'll come out and fly free for our established clients!
