We know that the stories from your dreams could be told using visual effects. Let us help you tell your story.

2005

A newly assembled team of young and hungry VFX artists led by founder Petar Jovovic and Marko Milicevic sets out to do the impossible: pull off Hollywood-ready visual effects in a French-Serbian feature production known as Tears for Sale. Crater team is born, and the French production crew christen us as [the] bunch of freaks from the apartment.

2006

The Crater team makes its first move outside national borders! Partnering up with Crater’s current art director Zoran Cvetkovic from Skopje, Macedonia, we get to work on some odd jobs for Indian productions. We catch a glimpse of what having a proper budget means, and start cooking up plans for taking over the world film by film.

2007

The Crater team becomes incorporated! Crater Studio LLC is born with an address in a rented downtown apartment in Belgrade, Serbia.

2008

Crater Studio meets United States! We visit LA for Siggraph and make our way to New York, meeting our first international contacts. Gregor Lakner, newly available after spending almost a decade at ILM, enters the stage. We get our first international gig: a commercial for Kinder, the European chocolate brand.

2009

Crater Studio gets its first office space! We move into TC Takovo, a newly built office complex next to the Belgrade Botanical Garden. Miljana joins the team as a partner.

Crater goes to Hollywood! Or, at least, our work does in the flick The Other Guys, done in partnership with Evil Eye Studio from San Francisco. Milovan joins the studio as a partner.

2013

Crater is back at Siggraph! This time, we shake hands with legendary CFX Oscar winner Scott Anderson and secure our first project with him - Muhammad.
