(Studio)

A studio built around direction, clarity and culture.

Gees.Studio works across film, motion, CGI and 3D for brands, institutions and founder-led companies with something important to launch, explain or build. Led by Grant Franck, the studio has shaped long-running creative work for NYU Abu Dhabi, SuperSport and DStv, alongside projects for Paramount Pictures, AARP, Snapchat, YoungLA, Letly, Sportable and local founder-led brands in Cape Town.

The work moves between global campaigns and local businesses, complex products and human stories, brand films and social content, product visuals and full campaign assets. The aim is simple: make the idea clear, make the work feel alive, and deliver the pieces a brand can actually use

(What We Do)

Work that brings the idea to life.

We create brand films, product films and high-end social content that turn a message into something people can see, feel and use. Each piece is shaped through creative direction, film, CGI, 3D, motion design, animation, VFX, editing and finishing, then built for the places it needs to live, from social and web to launch campaigns, digital retail, paid media, print and packaging support.

(Position)

Globally minded. Rooted in Cape Town.

Gees.Studio starts in Kommetjie, Cape Town, with the ocean close by and real community around the corner. The work moves between local brands, Cape Town founders, sport-tech companies, global institutions and US culture brands, from Ocean Freedom, Cape Town surf riders and local surf mavericks to Sportable, Letly AI, Bucket Culture and YoungLA. That mix gives the studio its texture: coastal energy, global reach, practical production sense and a deep connection to people, place and culture.
