From concept to final frame, Harkenn keeps the whole production in one workflow, with review and control built in. Harkenn takes a film from brief through script, storyboard, shot selection and art direction to finished production. Clients can follow the work as it develops, directing and approving it along the way. It shortens the path from brief to film without giving up the control complex productions need. Planning a complex product film? Get in touch, and we can take you through the Harkenn workflow.

Our latest film from @Harkenn shows how far local adaptation can go. We can tailor a single production to each market, and every version stays true to the original engineering specification. That flexibility comes from our AI-first platform, which runs the whole process from brief to delivery in one place. Each asset we create is kept in a library that carries forward to the next campaign, so every project builds on the last and the work grows in value over time. We use the same approach across aerospace, automotive, engineering and real estate. So if you'd like to see what it could do for your next campaign, let me know, and we'll find a time to talk it through.

Introducing Harkenn. Precision-engineered films that make human connections. A few years of thinking went into this, so it's good to finally say it out loud: we've launched Harkenn. Here's the problem we kept running into. Technically brilliant products in aerospace, automotive, engineering, and marine deserve films that actually understand the engineering behind them. But most of the time they get stock footage bent out of shape, or CGI that looks close enough. And close enough was never good enough for the teams who built the hardware in the first place. So we built Harkenn. It's a production studio, Harkenn Films, and a proprietary AI-first platform, Harkenn Tech, working together. The studio makes the films. The platform lets us do it with total fidelity to the technical spec, faster than the old way, and with an asset library that keeps paying off on the next brief rather than starting from scratch. It's part of the Chromatic Brands family, and something I’m excited to be building. So if you're working with a product that deserves better than stock footage or ropey AI, let’s talk. https://www.harkenn.com

Your next product film shouldn’t have to start from scratch. Every Harkenn production gives the next one a head start. Technical features, environments, characters and creative decisions are stored and reusable, so each new production starts with validated work already in place. The more you make, the more Harkenn has to build from. That speeds up production and makes future variations more consistent and easier to create. Planning a series of product films?

Your brand should feel recognisable from the very first frame. Harkenn helps build that recognition across every film. A good product film should feel like your brand before the logo appears. When every film starts from scratch, that recognition is harder to build. Harkenn retains the creative decisions behind your films, from camera angles and lighting to direction, editing and brand assets, so each new film builds on what came before. Over time, audiences start to recognise the brand in the way the films look and feel. If you’re building a more recognisable film language across your brand, we’d be happy to talk.

Complex products need films that stand up to expert scrutiny. See how Harkenn works from technical source material to final frame. When you’re making a film about a complex product, technical fidelity is essential. Geometry, movement, scale and behaviour all have to hold up to expert scrutiny. Harkenn works from source CAD, engineering drawings and technical documentation, with the film checked against those inputs as it develops. That gives us the control to stay true to the product and focus on making the story worth watching. Working on a technically complex product? We’d be happy to show you how Harkenn keeps the film true to the source.
