About CVLT Production

CVLT Production is a New York creative content studio working across live-action commercial production, CGI, visual effects, animation and post-production. Commonly known as CVLT, it developed out of Urban Studio’s retouching business to extend that creative offering into moving-image production and digital effects. Its work spans beauty, fragrance, fashion, luxury goods, automotive, technology and consumer advertising.

The studio combines production planning and creative development with image creation and finishing. Its production services include creative direction, casting, storyboarding, photography, lifestyle shoots and content for eCommerce and product detail pages. Post-production capabilities encompass editorial, color grading, retouching, motion design, look development, photorealistic CGI assets and visual effects integration. This combination supports campaigns that bring together photographed products, live-action footage and digitally created imagery.

Commercial and digital work

CVLT’s portfolio includes product films, launch spots, fashion campaigns and experiential digital advertising. Its documented work includes Fenty’s 3D anamorphic billboard takeover in Times Square, where dimensional CGI was used for a large public display. Other projects include Ralph Lauren campaign assets, Clinique’s Clarifying Lotion commercial, Peloton bike launch and promotional films, and product films for Origins.

The range of assignments reflects a practice extending from individual beauty and fragrance products to broader lifestyle and brand campaigns. Alongside conventional commercial formats, the studio has produced visual content for fashion events and digital out-of-home displays, applying its production and finishing capabilities across different presentation environments.

Company development

Established around 2010, CVLT historically operated on both US coasts before consolidating its physical operations in New York. In 2024, its standalone website redirected to Urban Studio’s website as the sister businesses unified their online presence and brought CVLT’s production, CGI and VFX capabilities under the Urban Studio banner. CVLT remains identified in the research as an active business with its own registered legal entity.
