§ 002
The Studio

Ideasarevolatileuntiltheyencounterlight.

Slingshot is a post-production house built around a single discipline: translating intention into image. Plate comp, digital cinematography, full-CG environments, final grade — in-house.

The work is quiet. The output is cinema. Our job ends when the director no longer thinks about the shot.

§ 004 · Capabilities
One studio. Six disciplines.
01Capability
Plate Compositing

Live-action photography merged with full-CG. Every element graded, every shadow cast. No visible seam.

VFXCompMatte Painting
02Capability
Digital Cinematography

We approach CGI the way a DoP approaches a set — light quality, lens imperfection, motivated motion.

LightingLook DevCamera
03Capability
Full-CG Environments

Worlds built entirely in CG. Automotive stages, architectural exteriors, abstract brand worlds.

3DEnvironmentRendering
04Capability
Automotive

Studio and location shoots for cars that haven't been built yet. Or ones that exist but deserve better light.

Hero ShotsTurntableConfigurator
05Capability
Architecture

Renders that sell before the first stone is laid — interiors, exteriors, aerial, lighting studies.

Final Grade

Color that closes the loop. We grade everything we produce — no outside the pipeline.

§ 005 · How we work
Four steps.
No surprises.
01
Brief

One conversation. We ask the right questions: what exists, what needs to exist, and what feeling the frame must produce.

Day 1
02
Previs

Camera angles, light references, motion studies. We show before we build — nothing is a surprise at delivery.

Week 1
03
Production

Geometry, shading, lighting, FX. Plate integration where needed. Full CG where not. Daily reviews on request.

Weeks 2–5
04
Grade & Deliver

Final color, format export, archive. We deliver masters and every derivative you need — no follow-up required.

Week 6
Est. MMXVIII · Houston
Disciplines
01
Plate Compositing

Seamless integration of live-action photography with full-CG environments. Every pixel accounted for.

02
Digital Cinematography

We approach CGI the way a DoP approaches a set — light, lens, motion, imperfection.

03
Full-CG Environments

Worlds that never existed, rendered to the standard of ones that do.

04
Final Grade

Color that closes the loop. We grade everything we touch.

§ 003 · About

We're two friends who turned a shared passion for CGI and visualization into a studio based in Houston. What started with endless late nights, renders, and creative ideas slowly became something real — and now we get to do what we love every day.

Our goal is simple: create visuals that feel alive, cinematic, and memorable. Whether it's architecture, products, or creative concepts, we enjoy bringing ideas to life in a way that people can actually feel.

§ 006 · The people
