Netflix's Scanline VFX and Eyeline Studios merge to become Eyeline

The Netflix owned Scanline VFX and virtual production house Eyeline Studios have merged to become Eyeline.

Founded 36 years ago, Scanline earned a Scientific and Technical Academy Award for its proprietary fluid simulation software, Flowline. Their VFX work has featured in shows and films such as Stranger Things, Wednesday, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and The Woman in Cabin 10. Most recently, Scanline won an Emmy for outstanding special visual effects in a Andor season 2.

Eyeline Studios, founded in 2019, pioneered the use of virtual production and volumetric capture, earning the Visual Effects Society’s inaugural Groundbreaking Technology Award for its stage technology, most recently showcased in the creation of Professor Orloff in Wednesday season 2.

The Light Dome — which replicates real-world lighting conditions — was recently used on Happy Gilmore 2 and the upcoming A House Of Dynamite. Eyeline has also led the field in applying generative AI to production, most notably in Netflix’s Argentine sci-fi series The Eternaut. 

In a Netflix's blog-post written by Eyeline's CEO Jeffery Shapiro, said: "Merging Scanline VFX and Eyeline Studios under one brand enables us to pioneer new tools, facilitate creative collaboration, and drive the future of filmmaking for the most ambitious storytellers around the world."
