Our Story
BlueBolt is an award-winning, independent visual effects studio based in London. Our talented team has been crafting exceptional images for film and episodic productions since 2009.
We partner with our clients from the earliest stages of production, guiding the on-set supervision of projects through post to final delivery and pride ourselves on our straightforward, meticulous approach.
BlueBolt is led by co-owners Tracy McCreary, Nic Birmingham and Henry Badgett. They are committed to prioritising the studio’s thriving, supportive culture and ensuring that it fosters talent and innovation, building on the legacy of Lucy Ainsworth-Taylor and Angela Barson who co-founded the studio with Chas Jarrett fifteen years ago.
BlueBolt’s creative work began with Game Of Thrones season one (HBO), going on to span five seasons of Peaky Blinders (BBC/TigerAspect); the entire The Last Kingdom series and its feature-length finale Seven Kings Must Die (Carnival Films/Netflix); three seasons of The Great (Hulu); Robert Eggers’ The Northman; Taboo (Scott Free/BBC); The Peripheral (Amazon); Mission Impossible (Paramount); Fast X (Universal) and Ridley Scott’s Napoleon.
