About FGREAT Studio
FGREAT Studio is an international creative production house combining live-action filmmaking, animation, motion design and visual effects. Founded in London in 2011 by Conrado Galves, the studio creates commercial films, product launches, cultural installations and immersive experiences. Its work spans advertising, entertainment, museums and public spectacles, with a presence across the United Kingdom, Brazil and the Middle East.
The studio works from initial ideas through production and finishing. Creative development includes concept creation, scriptwriting, storyboarding and pre-visualization, followed by live-action direction, art direction and digital production. Its animation capabilities encompass 2D and character animation alongside 3D modelling, lighting, texturing and rendering. Compositing, visual effects simulation, editing and color grading complete its production offering.
Commercial and cultural storytelling
FGREAT’s commercial portfolio includes recurring work for Sony Interactive Entertainment and PlayStation. Projects range from product reveal films for the Pulse audio range and Grey Camouflage hardware collection to broadcast graphics for State of Play and an explainer film for the PlayStation Family App. Its consumer advertising work includes McDonald’s dessert campaigns combining live-action footage with computer-generated food imagery.
Cultural commissions form another substantial part of the studio’s practice. FGREAT has produced virtual reality films and outdoor campaign visuals for Louvre Abu Dhabi, exhibition films for the Museum of London, and animation for the National Gallery of Art. Its portfolio also includes work for Christie’s and Sotheby’s, connecting its commercial production capabilities with arts and heritage storytelling.
Visual experiences beyond the screen
Alongside conventional films and commercials, the studio develops projection mapping, architectural visuals, anamorphic billboards and museum installations. These projects extend its animation and VFX work into physical environments, including large public displays and immersive viewing formats. Examples include content for Dubai’s New Year’s Eve 2021 projection spectacle and a live-action and CGI hero film for the Dubai Esports and Games Festival. Across these formats, FGREAT combines filmed material, designed imagery and digital environments to suit the setting and intended audience.
