Directing

A vision for light, composition, and performance that brings ideas to life.

our approach

For each project, we offer a depth of experience, careful eye for composition, and clear vision for how a project will be completed. We have worked on everything from large-scale national projects to smaller, local ones. Our director Stephen focuses on lifestyle and table-top projects, with an extensive portfolio of live-action, motion control and stop-motion animation work. We also collaborate with outside directors on a variety of other genres.

Lighting is at the center of Stephen’s visual style. From capturing thoughtful streaks of sunlight to incorporating bold punchy shadows, he sees those subtle visual cues as essential to crafting a relatable, human story. With a background in still photography, Stephen brings a love for graphic composition and precise, controlled camera movements to each project. For him, video brings the added advantage of working with talent to bring out an authentic performance that complements his finely-honed visual style.
