Our process
We follow an iterative approach to project delivery, adapting as we go to ensure resources are prioritised according to our needs and budget.
Project Definition
Using best practices to create a project plan that is robust and holds up in different scenarios, maximising budget efficiency and minimising risks.
Prototype Iteration
We follow a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) approach which allows us to be more efficient, collaborative and adaptive for challenges along the way.
Stakeholder Review
We ensure projects stay on track to successful completion by providing regular progress updates, check-ins and implementing notes and feedback.
Refinement
As multiple cycles of iteration are completed, the functionality, usability and overall quality of the project matures until it's ready for launch.
Ongoing Support
We are committed to our studio projects and to produce them openly. If you want to lodge a ticket you may do so on Github, or reach out on LinkedIn.
Tools of the trade
We value an efficient workflow that allows us to keep our own overheads down. Our selection of work tools is based on years of industry experience and ensures we are able to deliver our vision. It's important to us to finish work on budget and to do so in a good timeframe and with options to further iterate and improve.
Illustration and photo editing software
Our team is most experienced with the Adobe and Affinity suites for producing designs, illustrations and editing photos. We can deliver graphics in all formats including SVG, TIFF and PDF. Assets produced in our creative tools are often for use in other projects such as website designs (pictured) or product photo editing. We can also collaborate with existing teams with online tools like Figma and Canva.
3D Design and Rendering Software
The cornerstone of our capability in 3D Modelling and Rendering, Blender allows our team to access sophisticated tools for producing models, materials and 3D images. We can create custom photo realistic 3D models of product designs, optimised game models and create animated sequences for video ads, storytelling and interactive applications.
Video Editing Software
We currently use DaVinci Resolve for sequencing and editing videos, allowing us to make any final touches needed on top of raw footage produced by video cameras and 3D rendering software. Our team is experienced with making good use of the features in DaVinci Resolve to create professional videos with multiple video layers, special effects, text overlays, scene transitions and custom color grading.
Development Operations
Our on premises server hosts our development environments, some of which are custom and others defined in automation tools like Ansible and Docker. Using cloud services for hosting and Github for CI/CD, version control, issue tracking and project management allows our team to work with a broad range of teams around the world. We can work within another organisations coding standards and policies or provide our own recommendations, depending on the project needs.
Business Operations
We have a robust documentation system that ensures nothing is lost. Using Office and Dropbox our organized and structured files keep our production team equipped and informed for maximum efficiency to meet project goals.
