Media & Entertainment
Immersive, animation-rich experiences that command attention.
Media brands compete for attention with everything else on a phone. The site has to feel like the work — cinematic, fast, never the reason someone leaves — while carrying a publishing volume that would break a portfolio template. We build animation-rich experiences that stay quick on a mid-range handset, respect reduced-motion preferences, and sit on a publishing system your editors can run at pace.
The problems we keep meeting in Media & Entertainment
The showreel site is heavy
Autoplaying video and full-bleed animation look right on the studio's fibre connection and take ten seconds to become usable on a phone.
Cinematic that stays fast
We budget the page like engineers — adaptive compressed video, lazy-loaded sequences, priority on the first frame — so the work lands quickly on a mid-range phone.
Publishing is a bottleneck
Every release, episode or campaign page is hand-built by a developer, so the team ships fewer stories than it has and older pages rot in place.
Editors publish without us
Releases, episodes and campaign pages are assembled from designed blocks in a CMS, so the team ships new work on the day it is ready.
Motion ignores accessibility settings
Parallax and auto-playing sequences run regardless of a visitor's reduced-motion preference, which is unusable for some people and fails a basic accessibility check.
Motion with an off switch
Every animation honours the visitor's reduced-motion setting with a still, considered fallback, and nothing essential is ever conveyed by movement alone.
The paywall leaks
Members-only content is hidden behind a front-end check anyone can bypass by viewing source, and cancelled subscribers keep their access for weeks afterwards.
Access enforced on the server
Membership tiers are checked server-side and media URLs are signed and time-limited, so paid content stays paid and a cancellation actually removes access.
The archive is unsearchable
Years of work sit in flat pages with no tagging, so a visitor who wants everything by one director or in one genre simply gives up.
A browsable, tagged archive
Every piece is tagged by talent, format, genre and year, with filtering and search, so the back catalogue becomes something people move through rather than scroll past.
