BORN IN RESPONSE TO A CHANGING INDUSTRY.
Advertising today is augmented and optimised in post-production. Film is enriched with visual effects and motion graphics, fine-tuned, recut and adapted for different platforms.
Expertly mastering this balance – on time and on budget – is a rare and valuable skill.
This is where GRAFT comes in.
Edit. Animation. Adaptation. GRAFT is a post-production studio for digital film in advertising.
Our approach
Producing a stand-out advert isn’t the result of blind luck or a single creative spark. It takes serious and consistent hard work. And the work doesn’t end once the camera stops rolling. It extends to the all-important finessing of the film after production.
We understand that you need to meet the expectations of your clients, contend with ever-changing deadlines and still preserve the core concept you began with.
That’s why, when it comes to post-production, we have three golden rules (and these rules are not made to be broken):
1) Respect the craft and the budget equally
2) Test our understanding of the client’s desired outcome often
3) Keep communication open and flowing at all stages
Job done.
Our team
Picture a core team with a fantastic array of technical and creative abilities, not to mention devastating good looks (at least, that’s what our mums keep telling us).
EDITORS. DIRECTORS. ANIMATORS. PRODUCERS.
Skilled, dedicated, and prepared to put the GRAFT in.
And on the side-lines, ready to roll out whenever needed, is a carefully-curated vault of freelance talent.
All industry-proven and poised to quietly bring their unique genius to your project.
