The Third Floor, Inc. (aka TTF) is an American previsualization, postvisualization, and virtual reality company based in Los Angeles. It was founded by a group of artists that had worked together on Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith at Lucasfilm, and named the company after the location where they worked.[1][unreliable source?] The company has primarily focused on the previsualization aspect of film, television, game and themed attraction production; but as of the mid-2010s has been developing and applying an expertise in virtual production to support visualization, motion capture, camera layout and shooting on set.
