Kerner Optical provided visual effects services for major movie productions such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Evan Almighty, Transformers, Iron Man, and one of the Harry Potter films.

In addition to 30,000 plus square foot building where the stages were set and the stage equipment was stored, along with the camera engineering room and production offices.
