Studio RM

What Studio RM does

Studio RM is an award-winning, privately held post-production studio founded in 2010 in London by Robert Moore and operating as Studio RM Limited. The company delivers three core services — colour grading, finishing & VFX, and photographic retouching — for film, print, and digital content produced by fashion houses, luxury brands, advertising agencies, media publishers, and select film and music-video clients.

The studio's technology base consists of purpose-built calibrated grading suites with broadcast monitoring in London, New York (Brooklyn), and Paris, linked by infrastructure that supports simultaneous remote collaboration across the three sites. Work is performed by a small named team of three senior colourists (Jack McGinity, Vlad Barin, Jules Wileman) and six retouchers, with flame-based VFX/finishing handled by specialist artists. The studio does not expose APIs, AI tooling, or software products; delivery is entirely artisanal professional services.

Studio RM generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven professional service engagements, sold directly to enterprise brand clients and creative agencies without intermediaries. Its go-to-market relies on portfolio, industry reputation, awards, and long-term relationships with creative directors, photographers, and directors rather than on outbound sales or marketing campaigns. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no public cap table; ownership appears to be founder-/management-held. Marketing is limited to a website portfolio, Instagram (@studio__rm), and a newsletter.
