Duckling

Duckling is a Copenhagen-based creative film and post-production studio working across commercials, branded content, television and other audiovisual media. Established in 1999 as a boutique visual effects and post-production house, it has developed a broad production offering that connects live-action filmmaking, animation, picture finishing and sound.

The studio supports projects from concept development and production planning through shooting and final delivery. Its production work includes script refinement, location scouting, casting assistance, directing and cinematography. These capabilities allow it to contribute to individual stages of a campaign or handle a wider production brief encompassing both the shoot and subsequent finishing work.

Picture, animation and sound

Duckling's picture services cover offline and online editing, digital compositing, visual effects, color grading and photo retouching. Its animation offering includes character design, motion graphics, explainer videos, 2D and 3D animation, and stop motion. Together, these disciplines support projects combining filmed material with designed or animated elements.

Audio is another substantial part of the studio's work. Duckling offers original music composition, sound design, Foley, field recording, mixing and mastering, alongside voice-over casting, scripting and multilingual recording. Its services also extend to podcasts and audiobooks, bringing sound production capabilities to projects beyond screen advertising.

Project work

The studio's commercial portfolio demonstrates different combinations of these disciplines. For Efterskolerne's Opdag livet på en efterskole, Duckling supplied cinematography, editing, grading, music, sound design and voice-over recording. Its work on Boozt Summer focused on music and audio post-production, while the Hey Yum brand film involved concept development, live-action production and finishing. Other campaign work combines animation, motion design and sound according to the production brief.

Duckling operates as an autonomous creative brand within the M2 Family. Its business combines a Copenhagen production and post-production base with access to the wider group's production network, while retaining its own studio identity and project offering.
