Tools for cinematography and production
Every tool we publish has already been used on real work.
We build tools for people who work with the image — apps, plugins, desktop utilities. Before one ships it goes through months of testing and weeks of real work, on set and in post.
How we work
The studio is run by a working cinematographer
Pongo comes out of the work of a director of photography with twenty years behind him. The tools start from problems met on the job, not from a product idea.
A prototype goes to work before it ships
Every tool goes through months of testing, then goes out on real jobs as a prototype. What does not hold up on set does not get released.
We check against the instruments productions use
Our background gives us access to film rental houses and post facilities. We check our tools against the same instruments a production uses to verify cameras, lenses and workflow.
Articles
The first articles arrive with the first tool. They cover what we tested, what came out of it, and what changed in the tool as a result.
