Transition VFX

Ari Reisner is a visual effects supervisor, consultant, and compositor with over 15 years of experience across feature films, episodic television, commercials, trailers, short-form content, special venue projects, and music videos. His credits include Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, Pacific Rim, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Boardwalk Empire, Fear the Walking Dead, House of Cards, and major commercial campaigns including Google Pixel and Pepsi Holiday ads, amongst many others.

​

Through Transition VFX, Ari works with filmmakers, agencies, production companies, and creative teams to plan, supervise, and execute visual effects from early development through final delivery. In addition to compositing and shot execution, he now offers visual effects consulting, on-set VFX supervision, and post-production VFX supervision to help productions make smarter decisions early, avoid preventable problems, and maintain creative and technical continuity through post.

​

Transition VFX is built around collaboration, problem-solving, and story-driven work. The goal is not simply to create visual effects, but to support the production with clear planning, practical workflows, strong communication, and polished final results.​​
