THE STUDIO
TWO PEOPLE.
THAT IS THE POINT.
Umbra is Renee Calder, design, and Theo Marsh, motion. We met cutting title cards at a production house on Southwest Boulevard and left together in 2023. No account team, no juniors. The people you meet on the first call are the people who deliver the files.
We take two projects a month and give each one half of everything we have.
- Identity systems
- Mark, type, color, and the rules to run them without us. From $7,500.
- Title sequences and idents
- Broadcast, festival, or product. From $3,000.
- Launch films
- Direction through delivery, sixty seconds to three minutes. From $12,000.
- Sites like this one
- Designed and built in-house, no template underneath. From $6,000.
OUT OF
THE SHADOW
Tell us what you are launching and when it has to exist. We reply inside two working days, usually faster.
