Your material first
Most films start with what you already have. We cut, layer and animate your photos with type, or edit your footage, so it moves like it was made for the job.
Films without
the noise.
Your story, your people, your place. We build each film around you, beat by beat and frame by frame, from your own photos and footage.
Motion, shown rather than told.
Six 15 second reels, made in-house in Remotion, frame by frame. The first is ours. The other five show the same craft shaped for different businesses.
STUDIO PIECES, NOT CLIENT WORK · SILENT · NO STOCK, NO AI-MADE ASSETS
Six rules every film follows.
The same idea as the rest of Unhype Studio: good design, no noise. A film has seconds to earn attention, so every frame has a job and anything without one comes out.
Real, never generated
Your product, your people, your place. No AI-generated faces, food or results. AI is only ever used for clean-up, like dust or noise, and we log it.
Rights before pixels
Every photo gets a rights check before we design with it: who took it, a reverse image search, and releases for anyone recognisable. A photo being online is not permission.
One idea per film
A single thought from your world. If a competitor could swap their logo in and the film still worked, the idea is not finished.
Cut to the beat
Every cut and every move sits on a beat grid we set before animating. Nothing drifts, nothing lands late, and the end card holds long enough to read.
Checked before it ships
Each film is scored against a 12-line film scorecard and measured: size, length, frame rate, loudness and safe zones. A fail goes back to the edit, not to you.
Standards
How every film is checked before it leaves the studio.
Read what the film says
Our systems are hard-wired to score the exported file on 12 lines, never the timeline. A 5 is defined as shortlist level at a craft award. Fail any line under 4: every line 4 or more, an average of 4.3 or more, and one 3 fails. Keep two jurors blind. Measure the file: loudness, true peak, audio rate and flashes a second. Block on rights. Refuse AI-made assets, zero. Refuse broken code. Check it muted. Good design. No noise. Unhype Studio Films. Our own standards.
Start with the photos you have, or film something new.
You may already have what a strong first film needs. If not, we plan a short shoot with you, around one idea that is yours.
Motion from your photos
We take your best cleared photos and build the film around them with type, layers, light and timing.
- Photos scored for quality before design, so we know what they can carry
- Cropped and layered with care, never just zoomed in and faded
- Music and sound designed to the edit
- If your photos limit the film, we tell you which shots would lift it
Film from footage
A commercial shot on location, or cut from footage you already have. The real product is always filmed for real.
- Shot list, call sheet and releases agreed before the shoot
- Shot at 25 fps with locked exposure and white balance
- Edit, colour and sound mix in one place
- Room to grow into longer brand films
Nine steps. You approve the three that matter.
You see the idea moving before anything is shot or built. Nothing costly happens before you have signed off the animatic.
STEP 1You approve
Brief
What the film is for, who it is for, where it will run and the one thing it must say.
STEP 2Every asset cleared
Photos and rights
We gather your photos and footage, check the rights to each one, and score their quality before any design.
STEP 3Two directions, one chosen
Treatment and storyboard
The idea in writing, with references and a frame-by-frame storyboard.
STEP 4You approve
Animatic
A rough moving version with timing, type and temp sound. This is where the film is decided.
STEP 5Shot list or beat grid
Shoot or build
We film to the shot list, or build the motion piece from your photos to the locked beat grid.
STEP 6You approve the cut
Edit, music and sound
Cuts on action and on the beat, licensed music, and sound designed for each moment. It also has to work muted.
STEP 7Graded and mixed
Colour and finish
One grade across every shot, product colour true to life, and clean type and end card.
STEP 8Scorecard pass
Quality check
Scored against the film scorecard and measured against the platform's specs. Anything below standard goes back.
STEP 9You own the files
Delivery
Every size you need, a master file, and a record of every licence and release.
Beat by beat. Pixel by pixel.
Two seconds of a film is fifty frames. Drag through them. Every frame is placed on purpose, and the moves follow an easing curve rather than sliding at one speed.
TIMECODE00:00:01:06
FRAME31 / 49
BEAT3
25 FPS
A frame is 40 milliseconds
We work at 25 frames a second, the UK standard. Timing is set in frames, not guessed with a slider.
125 BPM = 12 FRAMES
The beat grid comes first
At 125 beats a minute, one beat is exactly twelve frames. Cuts and key moves land on those marks, shown in gold on the ruler.
3 CURVES
One motion language
Each film uses a small written set of eases, so everything moves with the same weight. Switch to linear to see the difference.
SAFE ZONES
Readable where it runs
On a Reel or TikTok, text stays out of the top 14%, the bottom 35% and the outer 6%, where the app's buttons sit.
From six seconds to long form.
Our most common films have set prices, below. Anything longer or more involved is quoted after a short brief, because the work depends on the idea and the material you already have.
