Built for screen
Every piece is designed for how it will be shot: the lens, the light, the stunt and the close-up. If it does not read on camera, it is not finished.

/ The StudioEngineering
Inside the studio Engineering
meets couture.
Taskmasters
We treat every brief as a mission. Deadlines, budgets, impossible references. We take the pressure so directors and brands can dream bigger.
Craft at scale
From a single hero suit to a full department for a series, we scale fabrication without losing the hand-finished detail that reads on a close-up.
One of a kind
India's specialty studio for superhero costumes, spacesuits and armour. Years of complex builds have made difficult ideas our normal.
Engineering meets couture. We are the studio directors and brands call when the reference is a Marvel frame and the deadline is next month.
