For Tech & Hardware Brands
4minus1d directs cinematic tech and hardware launch films for design-forward founders. Reveal films, motion identity systems, and precision brand pieces that treat the product as engineering worth watching.
Tech work at 4minus1d
Consumer hardware reveals, robotics and design-forward tools, financial infrastructure platforms, developer tools, and category-defining launches. Our tech work is precision-cut and monospaced — engineered pacing, one electric accent, no over-explanation. See tech work: Quasar Markets Key Visuals, Twisted Torus motion study.
How our tech work is different
Most tech advertising splits into two extremes: overproduced consumer-electronics theatre and template SaaS motion graphics. We live in a narrower band — precision cinematography, one visual system, engineered pacing — where the product feels considered rather than sold.

Can you produce a launch film before the hardware is manufactured?
+
Yes. Pre-manufacture reveals are usually fully CGI, with the film swapped to live hero content once production units exist. The visual system stays constant across both phases.
Do you produce investor and hiring films?
+
Yes. Many tech founders commission a cinematic brand film that has to carry them through pitch, press, and hiring — one asset, three uses. We direct it as one film with cutdowns for each context.
