01Atelier Meridian · Pictures & Systems · Est. 2021
Nothing herewas shot.Everything herewas directed.
Two divisions, one standard of finish. Films and commercials generated frame by frame under direction, and the software that runs the companies commissioning them.
02The house
Two disciplines, one house. One brief, one production standard, two disciplines that borrow from each other. Directors who understand release trains. Engineers who understand a cut.
03Pictures · current reel
Films that werenever shot.
04Under the light
A frame iseither directedor it is noise.
Every commission starts with a shot list, a lens plan and a grade reference. The model never gets to decide what the film is about. Nothing leaves the house without a named human signature on the frame.
