Studios
Film, commercials, and stop-motion, built by hand in a home studio, from the first sketch to the final mix.
What we make
One small studio.
Every department under one roof.
Most productions pass through five different vendors before they’re finished. Here, the person who builds the set also lights it, and the person who cuts the picture also mixes the sound.
Film & commercial production
Short films, brand spots, product videos, and social content, written, shot, and edited in-house.
Sound design & audio post
Foley, effects, dialogue cleanup, and the final mix, so the picture sounds as considered as it looks.
Set design & construction
Physical sets built at the scale the shot needs, from a full tabletop world down to a single dressed corner.
Stop-motion props & puppets
Armatured puppets, replacement parts, and props sculpted, cast, and fabricated to survive thousands of frames.
AI-generated & AI-assisted media
Generated imagery, concept frames, and AI-assisted visual effects, used where they serve the work and always labeled as such.
Work
From the bench
How a project runs
From brief to delivery
- Frame 001
Brief
A call about what you need, who it’s for, where it will run, and what you have to spend.
- Frame 024
Pre-production
Script, storyboards, and design sketches, plus a fixed quote and schedule before anything is built.
- Frame 096
Build & shoot
Sets, puppets, and props are made, then shot on location, on stage, or one frame at a time on the bench.
- Frame 240
Post & sound
Editing, color, effects, foley, and the mix. You review cuts in your client portal as they’re ready.
- Frame 480
Delivery
Masters in every format and aspect ratio you need, for broadcast, web, and social.
The studio
Small on purpose
Inkdweller is a home-based production company. The workshop, the stage, and the edit suite are a few steps apart, so a prop can go from the bench to the camera to the timeline in the same afternoon.
That keeps overheads low and decisions fast. You talk to the people making your project, not an account manager.
On AI: we use generative tools where they genuinely help, such as concepting, previs, and certain effects. We tell you when and where we’ve used them, and handmade work stays handmade.
