2026Screen graphics for film and television production — interfaces, readouts, and data displays designed to live inside the frame. The work spans episodic drama, feature film, and commercial production, with a consistent priority: graphics that read clearly on camera, hold up under compression, and give post-production and playback teams exactly what they need to work with.
The challenge
Most screen graphics are designed for the eye of the audience, not the hands of the crew. The result is work that looks impressive in a still frame but creates friction on set and in the edit — wrong frame rates, colors that bloom under studio lighting, layouts that don't accommodate the practical constraints of a monitor prop or a playback rig. The brief was to close that gap: graphics that are as considered technically as they are visually.
Approach
Every project begins with a technical brief before a creative one. Frame rate, display type, ambient lighting conditions, and the post workflow all inform the design before a single element is drawn. Color values are tested against the specific monitors used on set. Layouts are built on grids that account for safe areas and lens distortion. Files are delivered in formats that playback operators can drop straight into their systems — no conversion, no guesswork, no last-minute fixes at 2am on a stage.
Outcome
The approach has become a working method shared across productions. Playback supervisors and post coordinators consistently report fewer revision cycles and faster turnarounds. The graphics hold their integrity from the monitor on set to the final grade — which is the only outcome that matters.
