Capabilities

One studio. Many crafts.

Most projects need more than one. We bring directing, editing, motion design and 3D animation together, plus VFX, live-action production, color and sound, so an idea goes from treatment to final frame without changing hands.

Live action

Directing

From treatment to final frame. We cast, scout, light and shoot, then stay with the footage all the way through post.

  • Live-action production
  • Product & macro
  • Aerial & drone

Post

Editing

Story is made in the edit. We cut spots, brand films and series, then version them for every screen they will play on.

  • Offline & online
  • Story from hours of footage
  • Color
  • Sound design
  • Any size, any platform
