We study solutions to establish the best exhibition environments, lighting and sound delivery, in collaboration with architects, engineers and technicians.
Communication Services
- Development of personalised communication plans based on client’s needs, from the study of a coordinated image to the identification of the most suitable promotional channels.
- Creation of websites. We design and integrate client’s back-office activities, by implementing the use of Content Management Systems (CMS), thanks to specific software and ad hoc databases. Our sites not only have calculated and captivating User Interface (UI) graphics, they are responsive and assure the best browsing experience on any device.
- Creation of film clips, cartoons, and videos. We arrange development pre- and post-production and we select the best channel to publish content. Our creations are integrated with music, audio, sound effects, and voice-over. We can create visual effects (VFX) and 3D (3DFX) effects by use of digital visual techniques.
