Blacklight had quietly become one of the UK's most exciting production companies. Critical acclaim, bigger commissions, a growing team. Their digital presence hadn't kept up. It was time it did.
The Challenge
Blacklight's reputation was growing faster than their digital presence. With Bergerac landing on UKTV and The One That Got Away earning national press, their website wasn't reflecting the scale or quality of what they were making
The Solution
We started where we always do: a brand strategy workshop to get under the skin of what Blacklight actually stands for. Not just what they make, but how they make it. That clarity shaped every decision that followed.
We built a deliberately stripped-back visual system: one mono font, one weight, one colour. A language drawn from cinema credits and vintage VHS interfaces. Everything designed to get out of the way and let their amazing work do the talking.

A love letter to the cinema and to VHS video recorder UIs of the past
We created a deliberately paired down visual language. One mono font, one weight, one colour. Invoking movie credits and video recording devices.
Everything feels cinematic and is built to allow their productions to truly shine.
Since launch, Blacklight has greenlit series 2 of both Bergerac and The One That Got Away. The momentum is real.
Building engagment and telling the best stories possible
We designed a flexible grid with dynamic layouts and motion throughout, keeping the pages dynamically paced and the viewer engaged.
It’s the same ethos Blacklight applies to their storytelling: engage the audience, then get out of the way and let the work speak for itself

We are always looking to work with nice people to create nice projects.
