PRODUCT + BRAND CGI
REMOTE PRODUCTION
The Covid-19 Pandemic shut down the world and production of content for news outlets and production houses came to a halt. Working with our partners at Fish Pot Studios we provided production solutions to produce content remotely for major networks like COMCAST NBC/Universal, CBS and ESPN and streaming platforms like HULU and BET.
CREATION + CINEMATOGRAPHY + CGI + VFX + POST
Our approach is a fusion of storytelling, design with cinematic VFX, uniting the various sectors of creative, CGI and post-production resulting in innovative and cutting edge production.
