Stories from the brink

Cinematic work for stories with something at stake.

Work

Selected work

Projects are added as they are completed, with enough process to show how the pixels got there and not enough to turn the site into a software manual.

Dangerous Things

What if the gumballs were bullets?

A twelve-second Houdini 22 production study that grew into a complete reusable path from asset preparation and USD assembly through simulation, custom camera work, Karma XPU rendering and Resolve finishing.

Capabilities

Cinematic VFX, CG and post-production.

A compact studio with a deliberately broad production vocabulary, centred on cinematic image-making and backed by deep experience in finishing, filmmaking and score.

VFX & CG

Houdini procedural work, simulation, USD/Solaris assembly, asset preparation, look development, lighting, environments and rendering.

Post & finishing

Resolve and Fusion for compositing, cleanup, editorial finishing, grading and delivery, with the 3D and post decisions made as one image pipeline.

Score & sound

Original composition, orchestration, production and sound work when picture and music benefit from being designed under the same roof.

The studio

Remote studio.
Real-world production.

ELE.pictures is the creative-facing studio of Extinction Level Entertainment, built around Morgan Aitken’s work across VFX, filmmaking, post-production and original score.

Based in Montenegro, the studio is deliberately compact and location-flexible. Years of field production, cross-border work and keeping cameras and computers alive aboard an ageing sailing yacht have made “remote” a practical condition rather than a marketing adjective.

The aim is simple: make strong cinematic work, build the tools the work actually needs, finish it properly, and move on to the next shot before infrastructure becomes a lifestyle choice.

Dark spectacle.Terrible consequences.
