Studio Shotbox

offers a unique service in the world of Tabletop and Beauty SFX advertising, by providing an inhouse range of expert services, managing each phase of the demo production. The work starts in our state of the art SFX Workshop where the required shots are analysed, before we start the construction of the specialized rigging and mechanics which are required to create the action of the shots. Meanwhile, any necessary models are being painstakingly constructed and artworked in our Modelmaking Workshop by a team of experienced artisans. All shots are carefully rehearsed in our SFX testing facility so that they can be presented and discussed, with any necessary adjustments being made before we start shooting. Our studio shooting space of 200 sqm has been specifically adapted to our needs and is also equipped with a new generation Phantom FLEX Highspeed Camera and the lateset Modula Motion Control camera rig. Finally, all our shots are expertly onlined in Our Postproduction suite which is equipped with the latest version of Flame.
