SERVICES:

Optic Factory Productions aims to provide films that compliment the premise of each track. Inspired by experimental and drama techniques within film and animation, we seek to discover the best ways to visualise  the science of music.


To achieve this we use the latest in technical equipment, employing a variety of camera techniques, movement, light and shadow experimentation, cinematography in addition to advanced editing processes that result in a grounded and fresh production.
