The increasing globalization of the visual effects (VFX) industry has led to widespread adoption of remote collaboration models that span multiple time zones. This study examines the impact of temporal dispersion on workflow efficiency and artist satisfaction within virtual VFX teams. Using a qualitative approach informed by thematic, content, and grounded theory analysis, the research explores how temporal gaps, media tool efficacy, and psychosocial variables influence creative production. Findings reveal that teams with significant time zone differences experience higher workflow delays and extended asset turnaround times, particularly when relying on asynchronous or low-richness media. Conversely, richer communication platforms facilitate faster feedback and improved task coordination. Artist satisfaction is influenced by scheduling autonomy, usability of collaboration tools, and the presence of structured feedback mechanisms. However, the lack of informal communication and diminished social presence remain key challenges in remote artistic environments. The study concludes that sustainable remote collaboration in VFX requires deliberate integration of synchronous communication practices, trust-building routines, and adaptive workflows that accommodate both operational and emotional needs.
