DALLAS, TX and LAS VEGAS, NV, April 17, 2024: Cloud 10 Studios, a leading animation studio, today announced the launch of Thundercloud VFX, a full-service visual effects (VFX) unit. This strategic move expands Cloud 10’s portfolio to include real-time creative solutions, a highly specialized service that demands a blend of artistry and technical expertise using real-time technologies.
Founded in 2017 by Tracey Dispensa, Cloud 10 Studios is a trailblazing creative visualization studio using real-time systems like Epic Games’ Unreal Engine (UE), for its animation projects. They have successfully completed multiple award-winning shorts, metaverses, and immersive AR/VR experiences. This paved the way for them to enter the visual effects market.
“It all started with us exploring various real-time tools to support our animation work. Once we advanced our Unreal pipeline, we found ourselves working on set extensions and visual effects for the film industry. Thundercloud VFX was the next logical step in expanding our opportunities within the industry,” shares Dispensa, Cloud 10’s CEO.

Cloud 10 Studios debuted Thundercloud VFX by partnering with Hope Studios USA and Kyle Portbury Films Australia to execute the visual effects work needed for the feature film, ‘The Hopeful’.
The Thundercloud VFX team at Cloud 10 Studios also support Salesforce in using set extension using LED video walls with camera tracking for conferences like Dreamforce. “This allowed the VFX artists to generate complex digital backdrops in real-time using Unreal Engine. It was great to see companies like Salesforce using creative solutions like digital set extension to increase the quality of conference content for their attendees,” shares Dispensa.
