PIXELEXR provides end-to-end film and VFX services, supporting filmmakers and creative teams through the connected stages of storytelling. From the first draft to the final frame, each service is designed to fit where you are in the process and where you want to go.
WRITING AND DIRECTING
Story, image, and rhythm shaped as one.
PIXELEXR approaches writing and directing as a single continuous act. Rather than separating the page from the screen, PIXELEXR develops story structure, visual language, and character arc together from the start.
Furthermore, with credits including the award-winning Tamil short film Velvet Secrets, writer-director Shanthini Balasubramanian brings hands-on experience across development, production, and the director-producer relationship.
Approach: Original short and feature-length projects, co-writing and story development, visual storytelling, creative direction for branded and documentary content.
SCRIPT EDITING
Helping the writer find their voice, not replace it.
A script edit is not about changing what a writer has made. Rather, it is about helping them see it more clearly. PIXELEXR offers story-grounded script editing that addresses structure, narrative logic, character clarity, and the gap between intention and execution.
As a result, feedback is direct, specific, and calibrated to the script’s own ambitions. Every note is in service of the work.
Approach: Full script analyses, structural notes, character and dialogue work, page-by-page editing for features, shorts, and television projects.
PITCH CRAFTING AND CREATIVE CONSULTING
The first version of a film is the pitch.
A strong pitch is precise, compelling, and as story-driven as the script itself. PIXELEXR works with writers and directors to build pitches that are clear, specific, and shaped for their intended audience, whether that is a broadcaster, festival, financier, or creative partner.
Additionally, creative consulting extends to project positioning, strategy, and the decisions that shape a project’s direction before production begins.
Approach: Pitch deck development, logline and treatment writing, presentation coaching, project positioning and creative strategy. For productions seeking broadcaster or festival funding, Telefilm Canada provides development resources that complement this work.
POST PRODUCTION
Where a film finds its rhythm and final shape.
The decisions made in post-production are as creative as any made on set. Rhythm, pacing, tone, and clarity all take shape in the edit. Therefore, PIXELEXR approaches post-production with story at the center, supporting directors, editors, and producers through the final stages of the process.
Approach: Editorial support and story consultation, picture lock assistance, delivery preparation, and workflow guidance for short film and emerging content projects.
VFX COMPOSITING
Visual effects that serve the story without announcing themselves.
Visual effects, done well, are invisible. They extend what the camera captured rather than calling attention to themselves. Consequently, PIXELEXR provides professional VFX compositing for film, broadcast, and digital content, with work ranging from clean invisible effects to complex multi-layer composites.
Approach: Greenscreen and bluescreen compositing, rig and wire removal, sky replacement, digital matte painting, colour-matched VFX integration for independent and professional productions.
THE PIXELEXR PHILOSOPHY
End-to-End Film and VFX Services
Writing, directing, development, post-production, and visual effects are not isolated services. In fact, they are connected stages of a single process. The writer thinks about the edit. The director thinks about the VFX. The VFX artist thinks about the story.
PIXELEXR is built around that connection. As a result, each service is designed to inform the others, because the best creative decisions are made by people who understand the whole picture. This integrated approach to film and VFX services means every decision serves the final work.
