Core offering

Suited & Booted Originals is a full-service video production and animation agency delivering corporate films, brand films, explainers, TV commercials, event filming and live streaming, plus digital and social content for brands, agencies, and public sector clients. Services span concept, scripting, storyboarding, filming, motion graphics, 2D/3D animation, editing, colour grading, and sound design, all delivered by an in-house team. The company also offers Arcd, a proprietary cloud-native Video Asset Management platform available as an off-the-shelf subscription for ongoing asset storage, tagging, and repurposing.

Product overview

Suited & Booted Originals (S&B Originals) is a full-service video production and animation company offering a unified portfolio of creative services rather than a software platform. The core offering centres on Video Production, Animation, TV Commercials, Digital & Social Media, Events & Live Streaming, and Video Strategy — all delivered through an in-house team of directors, producers, animators, and editors. Supporting the production services are two named offerings: Supershoots (an efficient one-shoot, multi-asset production model) and Rapid Social Edits (fast-turnaround social media editing). The company also offers Arcd, a cloud-native Video Asset Management (VAM) platform, as a separate subscription product built by S&B Originals to help clients organise and repurpose video content. Ethical production values (B Corp certified, carbon-neutral production) underpin the entire service portfolio.
