Hollywood is no stranger to international talent, but few Indians have stamped their signature on as many globally celebrated productions as Ashish Raisinghani. As Head of Editorial at Barnstorm VFX and former Lead VFX Editor at Ingenuity Studios, Raisinghani stands at the forefront of high-end post-production, where visual storytelling meets cutting-edge technology. His work has powered some of the most successful and award-winning productions of the modern era—across film, television, and music.
Raisinghani’s recent credits read like a roll call of Hollywood prestige. At Barnstorm VFX, he has overseen editorial operations for Marvel’s blockbusters Thor: Love and Thunder,
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever—which earned an Oscar nomination and 156 award nods—and
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. These projects, massive in scope and audience reception, relied on his technical leadership to set up precise VFX pipelines that ensure seamless visual integration. Having designed the studio’s editorial workflows and daily color pipelines, he is regarded as a senior-most figure in production hierarchies, often reporting only to the company's owners.
His impact, however, spans genres and platforms. Apple TV’s Emmy-winning Ted Lasso entrusted him with supervising VFX editorial over multiple seasons. Critically acclaimed science fiction series like
The Orville,
Picard, and
Obi-Wan Kenobi—where the visual effects themselves earned Emmy accolades—were brought to life through pipelines he implemented and supervised, often being responsible for delivering the final composite-ready plates. From assembling dailies to the final delivery, his imprint is visible in every frame.
Even beyond traditional film and TV, Raisinghani’s touch has elevated cultural phenomena in the music world. At Ingenuity Studios, he helped edit and deliver iconic music videos like Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy,” which won multiple MTV awards and amassed over a billion views, and Taylor Swift’s “You Need to Calm Down,” which swept the 2019 VMAs with nine nominations and two wins, including Video of the Year. Whether managing the overnight shift of editorial departments or pioneering compositing workflows, Raisinghani brought the same blend of technical rigor and narrative finesse that has become his hallmark.
Critics and industry professionals have taken notice. As a mentor and educator, he continues to be invited to shape the next generation of film editors, including through his recent role as a jury member at the 2023 SCAD Atlanta Spotlight Film Showcase, where he judged graduate thesis films based on story, editing, and production value.
In terms of hierarchy, Raisinghani has achieved a rare stature. At both Barnstorm VFX and Ingenuity Studios, he has operated among the highest-ranked editorial veterans, consistently delivering more responsibility and earning higher-tier compensation than his peers. His versatility—offline editing, conforming, grading dailies, and VFX integration across platforms like Foundry Hiero, Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Avid—clearly distinguishes him as one of the most complete post-production minds currently contributing to Hollywood’s visual tapestry.
The ripple effects of his leadership are evident in the sustained critical and commercial success of the productions he touches. The Walking Dead,
Modern Family,
Brooklyn Nine-Nine,
Euphoria,
This Is Us, and
The Batman are just some of the productions that have gained from his expertise—each one decorated with Emmy nods, Golden Globes, or fan adoration on a global scale.
As the visual effects industry continues to expand into a multi-billion-dollar global market, Ashish Raisinghani has emerged not just as a silent force behind the screen, but as a defining architect of its future. His achievements are a resounding testament to India's growing imprint on the international entertainment ecosystem—and a trailblazing example of excellence for aspiring creatives worldwide.
