Who are we?

One of Us is an award-winning visual effects studio working across feature films, episodic content, commercials, and immersive art installations.

Founded in London in 2004 by Rachael Penfold, Dominic Parker, and Tom Debenham, One of Us is an award-winning visual effects studio working across feature films, episodic content, commercials, and immersive art installations. Highly regarded for its design-led concept work, One of Us is a key creative partner and collaborator to visionary directors. A strong commitment to creative excellence underpins all aspects of its work. With the opening of a Paris studio in 2021, One of Us has continued to expand upon and diversify its portfolio, which includes bespoke creature design, immersive world building and creating unforgettable on screen moments across the full spectrum of VFX disciplines. 

In July 2024, Basilic Fly Studio invested in One of Us, marking the beginning of a partnership that brings significant mutual benefits. TThe acquisition enables the sharing of resources and expertise, fostering greater efficiency and a more agile, scalable VFX offering. While both companies will continue to operate under their own brand identities, this partnership offers new opportunities for growth and development while building on individual reputations for creative excellence and high-quality work.
