WHAT WE DO
What is projection mapping?
Projection mapping is a technique that uses digital projectors to transform real-world surfaces—like buildings, stage sets, or sculptures—into dynamic video displays. We’ve been working in this field since 2010, creating projection-mapped experiences of all scales.
How much does projection mapping cost?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the project. Key factors include the physical scale of the surface, duration of the installation, and the level of detail in the animation. We tailor every quote to the brief, so get in touch to discuss your idea.
Will a projection be visible during the daytime?
In most cases, no. Projection mapping is best experienced after dark or in low-light environments for maximum visual impact.
What is immersive design?
Immersive design is the creation of environments that surround and engage the audience, often blending visuals, sound, architecture, and interactivity to produce emotionally resonant experiences.
What is interactive design?
Interactive design allows people to engage directly with an experience. We use sensors, switches, cameras, and custom-built systems to let audiences shape the outcome—whether it’s playing a bridge like a harp or triggering animations using public bike stations.
Do you create animation and motion graphics?
Yes. Our in-house motion team produces both 2D and 3D animation for live shows, broadcast, online and virtual environments.
Do you make VR content?
Yes. We have years of experience creating virtual reality content for a range of platforms and headsets, with work spanning both narrative and interactive formats.
Do you work with XR and broadcast content?
Absolutely. We develop extended reality (XR) content for live broadcast, virtual production environments, and real-time media applications.
Can you help with Film and TV productions?
Yes. We’ve worked on numerous film and television projects—developing broadcast graphic packages, in-camera visual effects, projection backdrops, virtual production assets, and custom playback solutions.
Do you work in film?
Yes. Our studio contributes to film projects through visual design, in-camera special effects, projection environments, and real-time content pipelines.
HOW WE WORK
How does your collaborative process work?
Every project starts with a conversation—an open exchange of ideas, goals, priorities, and possibilities. From there, we define the technical approach, budget, and timeline in a way that works for everyone involved.
Throughout the project, our creative team works closely with clients in regular feedback sessions, sharing progress and refining ideas. On the technical side, we design, prototype, and test all components to ensure seamless on-site delivery.
We’re always happy to collaborate with in-house teams or third-party technical suppliers. Our goal is to create a process that’s transparent, responsive, and aligned from start to finish.
When do you usually join a project?
We work across all stages—from initial concept and design to production and delivery. Sometimes we lead full projects; other times we collaborate with studios, agencies, or production teams and focus on specific elements.
How do you sync visuals to live music?
If the performance uses a click track or playback system, we sync using SMPTE timecode for frame-accurate control. If it’s more fluid, we run the visuals manually — listening and triggering content in real-time.
