An idea takes shape.
A starting image, a creative intention and a visual direction to build on.
Create expressive portraits, artistic compositions and original settings. Let each image stand on its own, or bring it to life through animation, dialogue and music to tell a short cinematic story.

Start with an idea, choose your subjects and compose a scene. Keep it as a finished image or develop it into a sequence. You guide the creative process, from the first image to the final sound.
