The
Studio
We Own
the Building.
750 square metres of purpose-built VFX production space in Marrickville, Sydney — a former smash repairs workshop, rebuilt from the floor up for the work we do. Six-metre ceilings. Three-phase power. Solar generation with on-site Tesla Powerwall battery backup — we run on our own power. The grid going down is not our problem.
Not renting. Not co-working. Not one lease renewal away from disrupting your project. This is a permanent facility, owned by the people running it — built to handle the heaviest production demands without blinking.
In the
Building.
Every Day.
On-site. On-premises. Not a distributed network, not managed offshore, not a roster of freelancers assembled per job. The same team that delivered 500+ shots on NCIS: Sydney is the team on your project — in one room, already across your brief. The facility has capacity for 50+ artists on-site, and the infrastructure to match.
There are no handoffs to someone we've never met. There are no time zones to manage. When you call, the people who answer are the people doing the work. That's not a given in this industry. At Future Associate, it's the only way we operate.
Built
to
Render.
- Purpose-built, render-optimised GPU fleet — scaled for the most demanding VFX workloads in production today
- Continuously upgraded. Everything on-site.
- High-speed, on-premises pipeline — your assets never leave the building
- No cloud dependencies. No third-party render farms. No exposure.
Australia's Only Independent.
The Trusted Partner Network Gold certification is the entertainment industry's highest standard for content security — required on the biggest productions in the world. Your IP, your assets, your pipeline: protected to Hollywood specifications.
Future Associate is the only independent VFX studio in Australia to hold this certification. Every other TPN Gold facility in this country sits inside a larger corporate structure. We don't. For productions with strict security and delivery requirements, there is no independent alternative.
Adams
Lindsay Adams founded Future Associate in 2018 with a clear mandate: deliver Hollywood-grade VFX at exceptional quality, without the bloat of traditional studio structures. The result is a lean, TPN Gold-certified operation that punches well above its weight on the world stage.
With over two decades in the industry, Lindsay has worked at the highest level — cutting his teeth at Animal Logic, Weta Digital, ILM, MPC, Method Studios and Rising Sun Pictures — contributing to some of the most technically demanding productions ever made. He was a key member of the Oscar-nominated VFX team on Mad Max: Fury Road and received a VES Award nomination for the same film, alongside an APDG Award nomination for Best Visual Effects Design for The Leftovers: Season 3.
As Production VFX Supervisor, Lindsay has worked shoulder-to-shoulder with directors and producers on set — from Crazy Rich Asians to HBO's Watchmen — translating creative vision into final pixels with precision and speed.
