Halide

What Halide does

Halide (衍襲影像) is a full-service creative film and design production agency headquartered at 1F, No. 6, Lane 194, Songjiang Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei, Taiwan. Founded in 2014 by Patrick Hu—a former Big Four accounting consultant who transitioned into filmmaking—the studio offers end-to-end video and design services spanning concept development, scriptwriting, storyboarding, casting, principal photography, editing, color grading, 2D/3D animation, VFX, motion graphics, and original music composition. The company is privately held, employs between 1 and 10 core staff (with a longer list of approximately 15 named creative contributors), and operates with international creative partners in Los Angeles, New York, and Shanghai that enable cross-border production for clients in Asia, Europe, and the US.

The studio serves enterprise brand clients across a diverse set of verticals including banking (Taishin Bank), insurance (Cathay Insurance), technology (Synology, Oppo, ASUS), automotive (Kymco), retail (7-Eleven), food and consumer goods (Yen's Enterprise, Nestlé), fashion (Dssent), entertainment (Eric Chou, Maggie Chiang, ZaZa music videos), and government/cultural institutions (Taipei City Government, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Kaohsiung Film Festival). Notable agency-side clients include Ogilvy, BBDO, and Publicis, indicating the firm operates both as a direct vendor to brand marketers and as a production partner to advertising holding-company networks. The service portfolio extends beyond film production into commercial photography, original film scoring, and strategic storytelling marketing—positioning Halide as a multi-disciplinary creative studio rather than a single-discipline production house.

Halide's commercial model is professional-services-based with custom project-based pricing; the company explicitly states that pricing requires case-by-case evaluation across personnel, talent, team experience, video quality, length, scripting, and props, and that film value cannot be judged by price alone. B2B negotiations typically require approximately one month of pre-production communication. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct client engagement, referrals, industry networking, content marketing via the company website and blog, and active presence on Facebook (StudioHalide), Instagram (halide_studio), and Twitter/X (patrickhu511). The company describes itself as an award-nominated studio with over a decade of brand-building experience, and its principal business differentiators are its international, bilingual creative team and its full-service delivery model from ideation through post-production.
