Netflix on Monday said it will acquire visual effects company Scanline VFX as it ramps up its production in Europe and Asia.
“Netflix will invest in Scanline’s pipeline, infrastructure and workforce and continue to support the pioneering work that Scanline’s Eyeline Studios is doing in virtual production to push the boundaries of what is visibly possible,” wrote Amy Reinhard, vice president of Netflix’s studio operations, in a blog post.
The company, founded in 1989, has also worked non-Netflix projects including HBO fantasy series “Game of Thrones” and movies including action flick “Godzilla vs. King Kong” and Marvel movie “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.”
