Our set: a cinema camera on a dolly, a wooden mannequin on an orange mark, and The Last Grenade playing on the LED wall behind it

How we work

We block out each shot on a virtual set before a frame is generated, so you see the camera, the light and the cut before we make it. Scroll down and walk through a shoot.

Stage 1 of 7

Brief

You tell us what you're making, who it's for and roughly how big. Your brief writes itself into a proposal as you type.

You send the brief and book the intro call.
