MUUGEN STUDIOS
WE MAKE DREAMS MOVE TO LIFE
Our company structure
The structure of Muugen Studios™ is uniquely small and nimble. Many agencies want to see growth at any cost, but that’s not how we run our business. Our motto is less, but better.
On the production side, we hire and work alongside industry-leading cinematographers, audio engineers, coordinators, assistants and professional editors where required, to help bring your projects to life.
This flexibility allows us to approach each project uniquely, and hire the best talent for the job (without any unnecessary overhead). The results are better videos, delivered quickly, for a fraction of the cost (compared with traditional video agencies).
How we serve our clients
We’ve found that we’re most fulfilled when working with a limited number of clients, instead of juggling two dozen projects at a time. We prefer working intimately with our clients so that we can produce the absolute best results possible for their business.
This means going deep with each client to learn exactly how their business functions, including understanding their sales funnel, unique value propositions, target market and more.
There are an infinite number of ways videos could be utilised, but only a few of them are going to make you money. We want to find the money making levers in your business. We will work with you to uncover the biggest opportunities that video can be utilised to help grow your business.
OUR STORY
BACKGROUND
Why we're such fanatics about narrative storytelling
Award-winning filmmaker Joao L. Fernandes had a vision for a space that nurtured
talented artists to become masterful professionals with a vision and a voice.
He established Muugen Studios, a place where filmmakers, photographers and
storytellers create beautiful commercial and non-commercial artworks that help
visionary brands, like yours, unleash the power of video.
We are artists, storytellers, creators and explorers… The reason we do what we do is to live the experiences that shape our personality and our lives, which are then translated into the beautiful work we produce.
We started a video marketing company
We didn’t start a video marketing company, only because we like making videos. We started a video marketing company because of the immense power video has to transform a brand.
Video is one of the most effective marketing tools on the planet, as long as it’s combined with the proper strategy and execution. We noticed a gap in the market that needed to be bridged between videographers with business knowledge, and marketing professionals with an eye for creativity.
