Before it was cinema, the moving image was research.
DONNA™ is a research and development studio for synthetic moving image. We develop the systems that generate the frames, and the methods that finish them to film standard. The machine produces; we direct, select, and resolve. Built for the brands that need cinema, frame by frame.
DONNA™ Research, Development and Technology
Research comes first. The studio's work is judgement: the one take with the right gesture, chosen out of hundreds. Directed and finished to cinema standard.
The first study set the figure walking. This one lifts her face out of the dark: a head drawn from particles of light, and turned in the round.

Movement, then a face lifted from the dark, then light itself in a single exposure. The work continues, study by study.
