WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Z23 Studios has been my go-to for VFX needs on film and tv projects. Anthony and team are amazingly creative. They’re able to take any concept you come up with and bring it to life. Everything from simple image replacement to complete world creation is done beautifully. Additionally, the turn-around time is quick and the rates are reasonable. I’ve recommended Z23 several times and will continue to do so because I know they’ll always do great work.Caroline Collins Zenkevich - Actress / Director / Producer

Anthony is a pleasure to work with and an extremely talented VFX artist.Brandon Roudebush - Director / Editor
I dont know where to begin with this review for this amazingly talented company! We connected with them a few years back about doing a few promo videos for our company, PVU Event Group. Since then we have moved all of our multi-media work over to them to be the designers and creative mind for us. I am so happy with the work that they do for us from the media for events to the motion monograms for weddings and even flying a team to Las Vegas to capture the event we produced for a DJ show. Totally blown away thank you so much! Contact them now and you will see the creative work they can do for you!Bill Jakub - Owner of PVU Event Group

I've had the opportunity to have Z23 Studios take both my daughter and son's high school senior photos. He was very accommodating when it came to location and wardrobe changes.

We hired Z23 Studios to film our wedding in 2012; Anthony did a phenomenal job! He captured all of the details and added so many special touches. We were truly surprised when we received the dvd...his work brought us to tears. He is now our family photographer and always exceeds our expectations. He gets the best shots, he is very in tune to what exactly you are looking for, and the special touches he adds are one of a kind!Jessica & Bill Kress
