NoLabel is a Polish visual effects (VFX) and post-production studio based in Kraków, specializing in VFX, high-end CGI, and fluid simulations for feature films, television series, and advertising.[1]

History

NoLabel Sp. z o.o., founded in 2006 in Kraków, Poland,[2] is a studio specializing in visual effects (VFX), photorealistic fluid simulation, animation, and post-production services.[3] The studio has contributed to a diverse range of projects, including films, television series, and advertising campaigns.[4] Led by co-founder and CEO Krzysztof Hrycak, NoLabel has worked on notable projects such as the Oscar-nominated Loving Vincent,[5] Andrzej Wajda's Powidoki, and Netflix's Wielka Woda.[6] The studio has also collaborated on independent films such as Kill It and Leave This Town[7] and Magic Piano.[8]

Notable Projects

NoLabel gained widespread recognition for its work on the Netflix series Wielka Woda (High Water), where the studio was tasked with recreating the devastating 1997 flood in Wrocław.[9] Their work on the series involved digitally simulating natural disasters, incorporating realistic water dynamics, wet surfaces, and detailed environmental integration.[9] In 2023, in recognition of this work, the company received the Special Effects Award at the WP Teleshow Top Seriale Gala.[10]

The studio also provided key contributions to Loving Vincent,[11] the world's first fully hand-painted animated feature, which received international acclaim.[12][13]

In 2016, NoLabel has worked on Powidoki (Afterimage),[4] Andrzej Wajda's final film.[14]

Additionally, NoLabel produced the film Ziegenort,[15] which premiered at the Rotterdam Film Festival in January 2013.[16] Since then, the film has been showcased at nearly 100 international festivals,[17] earning multiple awards,[18] including the Grand Prix at a Japanese festival,[19] the Silver Lajkonik for Best Polish Animation at the Kraków Film Festival,[20] and awards at festivals in Oberhausen, New York, and Hamburg.[20] The film has also represented Poland at numerous prestigious animation festivals, including Annecy[21] and Melbourne.[22]

In 2024, NoLabel was reported to be working on Heweliusz, Netflix's largest production in Poland to date.[23] The disaster series is set to depict a maritime catastrophe.[24]
