Two websites for global VFX company DNEG and its sister company ReDefine, built around a full rebrand by Further.

The scale of the project was significant — hundreds of projects, rich video content, and multilingual requirements across two different websites, DNEG and ReDefine. The challenge was building an architecture that could handle that complexity while keeping both brands feeling sharp and individual.

DNEG and ReDefine share a component library within a single monorepo, with differing visual styles applied across each. Building for consistency at that scale, without the two sites bleeding into each other, required careful architectural thinking from the start.

Both sites host hundreds of projects, each built from a shared component set that gives the teams full control over page composition. The system needed to be flexible enough for a content team to work with confidently, and robust enough that the design language holds however they use it.

Impactful animations and transitions run throughout both sites, alongside heavy video playback. Maintaining performance while delivering that level of visual richness across two large-scale sites was one of the central technical challenges of the project.

"Midnight continues to be a valued web development partner to DNEG and our group companies. The team went above and beyond to deliver all the features and functionality that we were looking for in our revamped brand websites, and have continued to effectively maintain, develop, and augment the sites since launch."
