How Great Video Sells Great Design
We’ve been lucky to work with some top designers, helping them to project what’s special about what they do on film.
Video and design of all kinds go well together. Designers are perfectionists. Every detail matters. Whether it’s the way the cloth of a dress flows in front of the camera for a fashion designer, the mirror finish of a tap handle for a product designer or how the petals of a rose in a wallpaper pattern echo their counterparts in nature, video makes the essential details come to life.

Hours turned into days and after numerous experiments it was clear that recreating …
