Wire Removal Services
The stunt should read as gravity, not as engineering.
Wire removal reconstructs the parts of a plate hidden behind safety cables, harnesses and support rigs used during a stunt. At Fuke's Media LLP, wire removal services sits inside a single end-to-end visual production pipeline, so the same team that plans a shot can also finish it — no handoffs between disconnected vendors, no version drift, no surprises in the final conform.
Safety rigs are non-negotiable on set, so the illusion is always finished in post. That is why production houses, OTT commissioners, agencies and brands bring this scope to a specialist partner instead of absorbing it in-house: dedicated artists, predictable turnaround, and a review loop that keeps the director in control of every frame.
We track the wire path, project surrounding detail into the gap and rebuild moving background rather than blurring it away. Every project starts with a technical breakdown — plate audit, colour pipeline, resolution and frame-rate targets, delivery specs — before a single artist is assigned. Shots are tracked individually through 4 production stages, and each stage has a named owner and an approval gate.
Each removal is reviewed against a wipe of the original plate to confirm no lost background detail or softened edges. Deliverables leave the studio only after an internal QC pass covering Cleaned plate sequences, A/B comparison reel, Comp scripts and any client-specific delivery template. Where a project needs it, we work directly inside the client's own naming convention, folder structure and review platform.
The stunt should read as gravity, not as engineering. Whether the scope is a handful of hero shots or a full-season episodic volume, the workflow scales the same way — the same pipeline, the same QC, the same single point of contact from bid to final delivery.
Wire tracking: Spline-tracked wire paths across the shot.
Background reconstruction: Projection and patching from clean frames.
Interaction fixes: Cloth, hair and contact points repaired where the rig touched the actor.
Review: A/B wipe against the original plate.
Use case: Stunt and fight sequences
Use case: Flying and fantasy shots
Use case: Puppet and prop rig removal
Use case: Camera rig reflections
Deliverables: Cleaned plate sequences; A/B comparison reel; Comp scripts.
Can you remove wires over complex backgrounds? Yes — moving crowds and foliage take longer, but projection and patch-based reconstruction handles them.
What about wires crossing the actor's body? That is the harder half of the work and is quoted accordingly; we rebuild costume and skin detail by hand.
Do you need the wire-only pass from set? Not required, but a clean pass reduces the shot cost noticeably.
