A reel built as one film, not a sizzle.
Most studio reels are sizzles — rapid cuts pulled together to look busy. We wanted something that actually held a viewer for the full 90 seconds. So we built Atlas like a short film, scored it ourselves, and graded every shot to a single look.
Show three years of work as one piece, not a list.
Studio reels are usually slapdash — quick cuts, energetic music, the loudest moments from each project crammed into a minute. Most of them are forgettable. We wanted a reel a stranger could watch from start to finish without checking the timeline.
That meant rethinking the format: a clear narrative arc, a single grade across all the source material, and a custom score that lets the work breathe.
Edit for feel, not for credit count.
We cut twenty-two projects down to seven that genuinely belonged in the same film. Built a colour grade that unified vastly different source material — CGI, 2D, illustration, live-action — and commissioned a score that crescendos with the cut. The result is a reel that earns its 90 seconds.
"The first studio reel I've actually rewatched. It feels like a film, not an ad."
The reel opened doors we hadn't knocked on.
Atlas became the most-shared piece on our Vimeo within a week of launch, and led directly to first conversations with three of our current largest clients. It's now the asset our outreach team leads with.
