WHO WE ARE
A handfull of specialists. One captain.
Photographer/Director, Filmmaker, Creative Producer, Post and Edit - expert-led, maker-made. A hands-on head of craft stays on set and in the timeline.
A tight crew with a big engine: handcrafted work, clear decisions, and the people you meet are the people who make. We keep the bar high - and the work moving.
And because we’re built this way, the output is simple to describe -
WHAT WE DO
We make still- and moving images that move business - handcrafted and current.
Brand & product films • Campaign stills & content suites • Social/verticals & launch edits • Post: edit, grade, VFX, sound. End-to-end or elite drop-in.
To land this with precision, we work in a way that keeps momentum visible -
HOW WE WORK
Core team + elastic network. We scale with trusted collaborators.
Lead-on-the-job. No layers, no handoffs; the captain is on every project - from brief to final export. Prototype fast. Boards - look dev - proof cuts. Short loops, visible progress.
The result isn’t just faster - it’s better where it counts -
WHY IT WORKS
Clarity + craft. We remove layers and decision-noise so more of your budget ends up on screen. Clear briefs, tight boards, purposeful shooting - then post that elevates, not just assembles. Current by default. Formats, platforms, and looks are updated as a habit: vertical-first when it matters, caption-safe cuts, platform-native pacing, accessibility in mind - built to land today and last tomorrow.
OUR WORK
THE FOUNDER
Over four decades and work spanning almost every continent, Thomas Kettner has built a reputation for leadership that unlocks teams and creativity that moves business.
As Founder & Head of Craft at Liquid Monkeys, he keeps the crew small, the work handcrafted, and the decisions clear - captaining projects from brief to final export. International awards attest to the craft; the results speak to the impact.
THE TEAM
Start lean, scale smart. Our core crew expands with on-demand talent - brand marketing, strategist, motion, visual brand communicator, sound/music, design, production, copy - only when it adds value, never as overhead.
