Picture first.
The story
follows.

A frames-first AI studio for African stories, across four cities. We design the frames that drive each scene, then finish every shot with traditional VFX tools — Nuke, Fusion and After Effects — to broadcast standard.

What we make

Every job starts with story frames. Motion begins only once you sign them off.

Story Frames

First and last frames per shot, style bible and character sheets.

Pitch Films

30–90 seconds that sell a series or campaign to commissioners.

Commercials

15, 30 and 60-second spots with cut-downs for every screen.

Titles & Trailers

Openers, idents and promos for broadcasters and streamers.

Pre-vis

Moving storyboards so directors see the film before the shoot.

VFX Finishing

Set extension, relighting and clean-up in Nuke, Fusion or After Effects.

Nothing moves until the frames are locked.

  1. 1 · Brief & bible

    Characters, wardrobe, palette, lens and light, locked in one bible.

  2. 2 · Story frames

    Designed in Nano Banana Pro, refined with traditional VFX tools. You sign them off.

  3. 3 · Motion

    Kling and Seedance animate from the locked first and last frames.

  4. 4 · VFX finish

    Comp, relight, grade and QC in Nuke, Fusion and After Effects.

Four cities.
One standard.

Skin, hair, textiles, architecture and light are where generic AI output fails most. We check every hero frame for them, wherever the story is set.
