This is what we mean when we say we don’t shy away from complex paint-outs.

In this shot, Alex Antolis from Alpha Chromatica took on a behind-the-scenes plate from the original Fantastic Beasts film, the kind of plate most people would quietly avoid.

The task wasn’t removing one thing.
It was removing everything that didn’t belong.

A false floor built for production.
Camera reflections sitting in the mirror.
Power cables snaking behind it.
Cameramen and their gear occupying half the frame.

All of it had to go.

But paint-out work isn’t subtraction.
It’s reconstruction.

Alex rebuilt the floor from scratch, restoring carpet detail and perspective.
He reconstructed the baseboards and surrounding geometry so the room held together spatially.
The mirror was cleaned and re-established so it reflected the world of the film, not the mechanics of making it.

Nothing flashy.
Nothing loud.

Just disciplined, detail-heavy work that makes the shot feel like it was always meant to exist this way.

This is the level we train at.
Complex paint-outs.
No shortcuts.
No fear of detail.
