who we are
HumTum was founded in 2021 by VFX supervisor Div Mittal
We're a team of artists, engineers, and restless imaginations.
We don’t chase spectacle for the sake of it; we build visuals that serve the heartbeat of a story.
From the start, we align the creative vision with what “success” means to our clients, so every choice has purpose.
We have a simple process; dissect the brief, understand the creative vision, and then design a workflow that eliminates waste.
No bloated pipelines. No guesswork. Just sharp and purpose-built solutions that protect both the creative intent and the production schedule.
Proudly rooted in Toronto our people, tools, and partnerships stretch across continents, giving us the scale of a global studio with the agility of a focused team.
That global reach isn’t a marketing tagline; it’s how we keep momentum 24/7 and bring in exactly the right specialists at exactly the right moment.
“HumTum” symbolizes the unique bond between two people; a nod to how we work internally and how we show up for our clients. It’s the trust and the willingness to push each other toward something better.
