Platige Image

What Platige Image does

Platige Image S.A. is a Warsaw-headquartered creative production and post-production studio founded in 1997 by Jarosław Sawko and Piotr Sikora. The studio delivers high-end computer graphics, 3D animation, visual effects, game cinematics, and motion-capture-based production for entertainment and brand clients, operating from offices in Warsaw (headquarters and motion capture studio), Manhattan Beach (US), Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain), Tokyo (Japan), and Montreal (Canada). Its core technology stack centers on Unreal Engine 5 (the studio is an Authorized Unreal Engine Service Partner since 2023), an in-house motion capture facility (used, for example, on 14 days of capture for the Witcher 4 cinematic reveal), and a proprietary audio division branded Soundly. The studio serves AAA game publishers (CD PROJEKT RED, Activision/Treyarch, Capcom, EA, Techland, 4A Games/Deep Silver, Sega/Creative Assembly, Bloober Team), streaming and film buyers (Netflix on The Witcher and Love Death & Robots, Amazon MGM Studios on Secret Level, Warner Bros/DC on Wonder Woman, Showmax on Rojst), broadcasters (Polsat Sport on UEFA broadcast graphics), and brand advertisers (Żubr, XTB/Conor McGregor). Revenue is generated primarily through custom project-based engagements with custom quote-based pricing, complemented by licensing/royalty exposure from original content and theatrical/streaming co-productions through subsidiaries Platige Films, DOBRO, and the newly launched Platige Film Project (April 2025), led by Dorota Szcześniak, which extends the group into owned scripted feature films and series development. The company reports 25+ years of activity, approximately 5,000 completed projects, and over 300 industry awards including BAFTA nominations, Oscar nominations, and European Film Awards.
