In the Haute Couture sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Special Effects delivers measurable results that transform how haute couture professionals communicate with their audience.
Haute couture video documents the pinnacle of fashion craftsmanship — garments requiring 300-700 hours of handwork that are produced for an audience of fewer than 2,000 clients worldwide. The video must honor both the final runway moment and the months of atelier work that precede it: embroiderers at Lesage, feather workers at Lemarié, and fabric manipulators whose techniques have been passed down through generations. Fashion week runway capture requires 4-6 cameras, a dedicated audio feed from the soundboard, and a live-edit director who can deliver highlight reels within hours of the show ending. Behind-the-scenes atelier documentaries (10-15 minutes for YouTube) serve both PR and archival purposes. The aesthetic is deliberately slow and reverent — lingering close-ups on hand-stitching and fabric draping. Production budgets for major houses run 100,000 to 300,000 euros per season, not including the runway show production itself.
Luxury fashion demands video that matches the quality and attention to detail of the products themselves. 73% of luxury consumers say video influences their purchase decisions, but the content must elevate the brand rather than cheapen it. The challenge is producing video that feels exclusive and aspirational.
From runway shows to lookbooks, behind-the-scenes craftsmanship stories to influencer collaborations, fashion video must capture fabric movement, color accuracy, and the intangible quality that defines luxury. Each season requires fresh content across multiple platforms, each with different format requirements.
A luxury maison produced a 90-second brand film for their collection launch, combining runway footage with artisan workshop sequences. The film generated 8.3M views across platforms and drove a 42% increase in online store traffic during launch week.
Fashion video delivers premium ROI: lookbook videos increase online conversion by 134%, behind-the-scenes craftsmanship content builds brand heritage perception by 67%, and campaign films on social media generate 4x more engagement than static imagery. Luxury brands with strong video presence report 28% higher brand value perception.

Special effects cover the broad category of visual enhancements that alter reality in your footage — explosions, fire, rain, snow, smoke, electrical arcs, and environmental destruction. We use a combination of stock element compositing, Houdini simulations, and After Effects particle systems depending on the scale and budget. Each effect is color-matched, shadow-integrated, and motion-tracked to your plate. This service differs from compositing (which is assembly) in that we generate the effects themselves. A single VFX shot takes 2-5 days; we recommend sending us a shot list early so we can plan the pipeline and batch similar effects together.
You receive: final composited shots in ProRes 4444/EXR, VFX breakdown reel, individual element passes (beauty, diffuse, specular, alpha), and project files.
Software: Nuke, After Effects, Houdini, Maya, Cinema 4D | Tracking: PFTrack, SynthEyes | Render: Arnold, V-Ray, Octane | Output: EXR 16/32-bit, ProRes 4444, DPX
