🌊 No Water, No Limits 🌊

What’s better than finding pearl treasure at the bottom of the ocean?

Shooting an underwater Panerai spot dry for wet in our VP studio without getting wet!

For the spot, we created a cinematic underwater world controlled in our studio. Realistic depth, caustics, and movement without the risks or restrictions of real water.

The result? Absolute creative freedom. No water safety, no boats, no boundaries, no limits!! Just possibilities. Dry for wet for the win!

Take a look at how VP changes the game.

🎬 Limitless Action🌵 ( Volume On! 📢 )

Our spy Colton is on the run and caught up in a desert storm, but when the dust settles, can he prevail against another threat? Here’s a sneak peek from FALLEN.

We’re so very proud to share this and applaud everyone involved with this project and what we all achieved.

This Scarab Production was set in an expansive desert location battleground under unforgivable desert conditions. We were able to pull it all off!

Ready to push boundaries for your next project?

Watch the magic unfold in this desert duel!

We’re excited to share the trailer for Women of the Hour, Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut. The film delves into the unsettling true story of Rodney Alcala, a serial killer who appeared on a popular TV game show, The Dating Game, in the 1970s.
