Visual Production Platform
Everything begins in black.
BLACKFRAME is a visual production platform built from Tony Srour's filmmaking, known from ABL Films, with Philippos Marmoutas's visual effects, known from FAUST Post. Commercials, music videos, feature film sequences, and complex VFX run through one proprietary pipeline, held by one team from concept to final delivery.

Featured Projects
Selected case studies
Rhythm and Frame
Music video combining narrative and performance elements, with visual effects and finishing handled end to end by BLACKFRAME.
Metal, Light, Motion
Automotive commercial covering the full pipeline: VFX, CG integration, compositing, and colour-managed delivery.
BLACKFRAME
Commercials, music videos, and VFX work across formats, built through one pipeline from brief to delivery.
In motion.
Concept through delivery, in-house. Storyboarding, lookdev, character and environment design, original score, SFX, post-production: one pipeline, one team. Nothing leaves to be finished elsewhere.
The System
Your brief. Our system. No questions.
Most productions fragment in transit. The original vision passes through a creative agency, a production company, a VFX house, and a finishing facility; something diffuses at each handoff, and by the final master the brief is a distant memory. BLACKFRAME removes the chain.
Concept, physical production, VFX, and delivery run through one proprietary pipeline, controlled by one team. Commercials, feature film sequences, music videos, and complex visual effects shots, built and delivered end to end without subcontracting or studio handoffs. One point of accountability, from the first frame to the final master, across however many formats the project requires.
How any given frame is achieved (the proportion of CG, the visual technology applied, the rendering approach) is an internal decision. The client receives finished work.
Capabilities
What the platform handles
End-to-end campaign delivery
Brand films, product launches, automotive, food and luxury goods. Concept through multi-format delivery from one team, under one brief. VFX-heavy spots or clean narrative work, costed and built the same way.
Treatment through final master
Narrative, performance, and fully synthetic environments (or combinations that make the distinction irrelevant). Visual direction from treatment to delivery, built as a complete argument between image and music.
Sequences built to spec
VFX shots and sequences for features and series, matched to the originating format, finish, and camera profile of the production. The integration point is invisible by design.
Invisible or defining
2D and 3D compositing, CG environments, character and creature work, digital set extensions, environment replacement. Built to disappear into a live-action frame or built to be the frame entirely.
Delivery-safe masters
Data-guided grading, cleanup, resolution enhancement, grain matching. Colour-managed from acquisition to deliverable (web, broadcast, DCP, social), with the same pipeline handling every format. No rerenders. No quality lost in transit.
Questions
The process.
What happens when I send the brief?
We review it and return with a proposed approach: scope, timeline, and cost. Once approved, production begins. One team, one pipeline, one delivery point.
How does the pipeline work?
Concept, physical production, visual effects, and delivery run through one proprietary pipeline, controlled end to end by one team. The specifics of how any frame is achieved (the proportion of CG, the rendering approach, the visual technology applied) are internal. The client receives finished work.
What formats do you deliver?
Web, broadcast, DCP, social cutdowns, and localised versions. All deliveries are colour-managed and broadcast-safe, with the same pipeline handling every format.
