FRENDER, an award-winning VFX studio in Los Angeles, received three Telly Awards wins in Craft: Visual Effects for music videos and commercials.

FRENDER, a Los Angeles-based award-winning VFX and post-production studio specializing in music videos, commercials, branded content, CGI, cleanup, retouching, and high-end visual effects, is proud to celebrate a strong showing at the 47th Telly Awards.

This year, FRENDER received three wins in the Craft: Visual Effects category and also contributed VFX to several additional Telly-recognized music videos and commercial projects.

For the team, this recognition reflects more than awards. It represents creative trust, collaboration, and the growing role of high-end post-production in shaping the final image for artists, brands, directors, agencies, and production companies.

As a trusted visual effects partner for music videos and commercials, FRENDER works across a wide range of post-production needs — from cleanup, compositing, retouching, beauty work, and 3D to seamless visual enhancements that make every frame feel complete.

Three Wins in Craft: Visual Effects

FRENDER received three awards in the Craft: Visual Effects category:

Silver Winner
Kelsea Ballerini — Emerald City

Silver Winner
Merrell — Good Things Await!

Bronze Winner
Oakley | Travis Scott

Each project carried its own visual language, production demands, and creative challenges. From cinematic music video storytelling to bold commercial imagery, the work required precision, visual control, and a deep understanding of how VFX can support the director’s vision without overpowering it.

At FRENDER, visual effects are never treated as decoration. They are part of the visual architecture of a project — helping the image feel complete, polished, and emotionally aligned with the story.

Sometimes the work is highly visible. Sometimes it is almost invisible. In both cases, it shapes how the audience experiences the final piece.
