Who We Are
About Us
A collective of artists
It's all about the talent. There's just the artist and you.
Cinematomic is a collective of artists leveraging modern tools to deliver top tier results at independent rates. We call this "insourcing", and it IS the future of post production. By pooling our talents, we provide a full-service post solution for your web, television or theatrical project.
We don't have an expensive espresso machine, or Italian marble floors, or a burdensome lease payment on a piece of hardware that was obsolete the minute it was purchased. Your money goes directly to the screen. There's no finance department. There are no surprise invoices.
