Client Testimonials

What clients say about working together.

“a clear eye for aesthetics and storytelling”

Max brings a clear eye for aesthetics and storytelling to every project. He understands how to translate brands visually, producing content that is modern, precise, and impactful. The results of our productions speak for themselves.

“first results delivered the very next day”

We worked with Max on the production of a trade show aftermovie, and would do it again without hesitation. Communication was seamless, first results arrived incredibly fast (already the next day), and the entire collaboration was a pleasure. Highly recommended.

Valentin Schulze

CEO, Shootle GmbH

“our investors reached out asking who we worked with”

The video turned out outstanding. We received a huge amount of praise from partners, it's genuinely Netflix-level quality. What surprised me most: we had the first results within two or three days. And what really made us proud: our investors reached out asking who we were working with. We've had an extremely positive experience with Coldridge Studios and will absolutely continue working with them.

Six years directing commercials the traditional way.

Got tired of time constraints and limited budgets.

So I went AI.

1 / 32 / 33 / 3

Now productions call me when AI can't look like AI.

Why productions and brands work with me

"What makes you different?"

Direction, not prompts

Eight years of film craft behind every frame.

One director, full control

No agency layers, no rotating team, no brief lost in translation.

Indistinguishable from reality

AI shots that cut next to live action without anyone noticing.

Brand-safe and yours

Clear usage rights, accurate products, on-brand every time.

Max Osetskyy

Creative Director & Director of Photography

5+ years on commercial sets. Now I direct brand films and AI campaigns end-to-end: one person, full creative control.

  • Your team runs it, I stay on call

Different briefs, one standard. If it reads as AI, it isn't done.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Does it look like AI?

That is the whole job. If it reads as AI, it failed. Every frame is art-directed to look like a real campaign, not a generation.

Does AI replace creative direction?

No. The tools are new, the direction is eight years deep. You are hiring the eye, not the software.

Who owns the work and the usage rights?

You do. Full, cleared commercial rights to everything delivered.

Do you work with production companies and agencies?

Yes, a lot of my work runs through them. I join your production as the AI director, from pitch visuals to finished hybrid shots.

What does it cost?

Projects start at $3,000. Larger productions and retainers are scoped per brief.
