I founded Cristo Cola Studios in 2018 and I lead its work as director and editor. We make music videos for independent artists and labels. Brands such as hotels and restaurants come to us for their films. We have delivered over 1,100 projects for clients around the world. Many of them come back for their next project. Some artists bring only the track, so we build the whole music video from stock footage. Others send their own footage for us to edit and grade into the finished film. When a brand starts with an idea, we write the script and produce the voiceover too. Our advert for a pillow brand was built entirely from mountain footage, which saved the client a location shoot. One of the music videos in our portfolio is for my own song, so we also know a release from the artist's side. We also offer full packages for artists and brands. The color graded video comes with the pieces a release needs, such as album art and thumbnails. We cut Spotify Canvas loops and social media posts from the same footage. When a client needs a website, we build a starter site and write its content. Photography is part of what we offer too, with over 200 photo and retouching sets delivered.
