## History

Base FX was founded in 2006 by Chris Bremble and a team of 12 artists and CG instructors who had previously worked on one of Bremble's films, the 2005 picture *Deep Rescue*. The company quickly began to grow, securing clients in China and Hollywood, and building a talented team of artists.

In 2010, Christopher Bremble was awarded an Emmy for Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Movie or Mini-Series for the company's work on HBO's epic war saga *The Pacific*.[3] The company was awarded its second Emmy in 2011 for its work on HBO's *[Boardwalk Empire](/source/Boardwalk_Empire)*, an American period crime drama television series, and a third one in 2014 for its work on Starz's pirate adventure series "Black Sails".[4]

In May, 2012, Base signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement with Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic (ILM).[5] At the Beijing Film Festival on April 18, 2013, the two companies signed an expanded co-operation deal that secures the exclusive use of the Beijing-based studio’s services for all ILM’s Hollywood films.[6]

In 2012, Base stationed in the industrial park in [Wuxi, China](/source/Wuxi%2C_China), and will work on animation films for clients.[7]

In 2014, Base opened its third production studio in Xiamen, China, to make visual effects for Hollywood films.[8]

On December 29, 2014, Base FX signed strategic cooperation agreements with [China Fortune Land Development](/source/China_Fortune_Land_Development) Co., Ltd. (CFLD) and will tenant in Dachang Film and Media Industrial Park to build a high-end VFX training base.[9][10] As of 2014, Base FX has finished 120 projects with more than 10,000 visual effects shots.[8]

On 20 April 2015, Base FX jointly founded China Post Production Alliance (CPPA) at the 5th Beijing International Film Festival to promote and enhance the development of visual effects in China.[11]

In August 2018, Base FX's production arm Base Pictures, working with Meridian Entertainment, began production on the action disaster film *[Skyfire](/source/Skyfire_(film))*. Directed by [Simon West](/source/Simon_West), the film stars [Hannah Quinlivan](/source/Hannah_Quinlivan), [Wang Xueqi](/source/Wang_Xueqi), and [Shawn Dou](/source/Shawn_Dou) and is scheduled to be released on December 12, 2019. It is produced by Chris Bremble, Jennifer Dong, and Jib Polhemus.[12]

Base FX's very first overseas production facility was set to open in mid-June of 2018 in Bangsar South complex in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The full-service studio will be staffed by over 200 staff.[13]

In 2022, the company accused two men, Kevin Robl and Remington Chase, of defrauding the company and its investors out of $234 million over the course of several years.[14]

In 2025, Base FX teamed up with [Moonton](/source/Moonton) and The Little Black Book Studios to develop a new [Mobile Legends: Bang Bang](/source/Mobile_Legends%3A_Bang_Bang) animated series.[15]
