HAVEN OF CREATIVE ENERGY
RiTE MEDIA was born from naive creative ambition and a simple question: How can we elevate stories while preserving heart and authenticity? In the summer of 2010, a small group of young storytellers – equal parts dreamers and problem-solvers – came together with a shared vision: to push storytelling forward using the most cutting edge technology available.
Fueled by collaboration (and excessive caffeine), RiTE became a space where artistry and innovation collide. Today, we’re still that same crew at heart – just with bigger toys, sharper tools, and even bolder stories.

We highlight Bally’s fine swiss craftsmanship and celebrate the human skill, expertise an innovation that goes into a pair of Bally shoes.
Our challenge in making this piece: how do we explore the unseen within Bally’s 1851 artisan heritage in a riveting fashion while staying true to the brand identity? In bringing this to life, we captured the shoe building process practically with our micro precision BOLT arm. We achieved tight action shots to convey meticulous, artisan touch; tying it all together with a custom rhythmic and symphonic score to run as a thematic music build.

The Future is Now
The holidays are finally upon us, and we’re excited to unveil our newest virtual production short, ‘THE FUTURE IS NOW.’

Engineered for the morning. Designed for the man.
Step into the energetic world of Men’s Wearhouse with “Morning Routine”—an ad that masterfully combines style, precision, and innovative filmmaking. Shot on the bustling streets of Atlanta, this production brought together a large crew and cast to execute a series of coordinated, high-impact moments. Using cutting-edge motion control and automation, every scene was meticulously choreographed to highlight the modern man’s morning ritual.
One standout sequence features a motorcycle rigged on a rail, seamlessly blending technology and creativity.

With his signature charm and a dash of humor, Joe blends style with a tongue-in-cheek nod to the refreshing allure of Tanqueray. This clever campaign mixes high-energy entertainment with a message of optimism, inviting viewers to toast to sunnier times and savor life’s unpredictable moments—all with a Tanqueray twist.
Are Pergo floors indestructible? Let’s put it to the test!
The beauty of automation is the unseen magic that takes place when multiple triggerable events happen simultaneously to frame precision. Pergo wanted us to stress test their flooring in multiple scenarios, so we did just that – having our cowgirl rope lemonade, chess board falling, garden equipment tumbling, water balloon fighting, pots splashing, dogs mud tracking, and toy car racing – all captured using an actuators timed with the BOLT arm move and shot on our Phantom Flex4K
High speed cinematography meets virtual production
High-speed cinematography meets virtual production in our most recent R&D piece. Slow motion cinematography on an LED volume is crucial for dynamic shots like tabletop food/beverage/product and high-octane action sequences. Our latest R&D project involved capturing a high-speed Johnnie Walker pour in a virtual London Pub at 120 frames per second, using high refresh rate LED panels and robotics.

RTJ Music Visual for the much-anticipated release of Cyberpunk 2077
For all you Cyberpunk 2077 fans, we teamed up with director Mike Diva of Lord Danger in capturing Run the Jewels doing their thing for this insane project “No Save Point”. This project was highly collaborative and pushed our BOLT Cinebot to it’s maximum speed and agility.

Change
Part one of a two-part abstract visual for the synth pop duo, GGFO. This project is Colin Michael Quinn’s solo directorial debut. Colin initially wrote the concept while falling for the woman who would be come his future wife; inspiring many of the themes running through both music videos. “Change” is shot mostly in-camera, using macro photography, motion control and liquid chemistry to achieve the sky/planet effects.
Touch
Part two of a two-part abstract visual for the synth pop duo, GGFO. Like “Change,” “Touch” is shot mostly in-camera, using macro photography, motion control and liquid chemistry to achieve the sky/planet effects. To bring the planet’s atmosphere to life, Colin Quinn (Director and Cinematic Engineer) mixed thera fluid, milk, and paint in a petri dish, and shot it using a macro lens on our BOLT. For the live action planets, the first scene is shot on a giant lime deposit located conveniently behind our studio and the dance scenes were shot inside of a marble quarry in rural Georgia.
Pursuit of the Unseen
We believe the best technology is the kind you don’t notice – it’s simply felt. For us, innovation isn’t about spectacle; it’s about finding new ways to translate the heart of a message in the most efficient and compelling way possible.
Virtual Production (VP) has forever changed the filmmaking landscape; streamlining the entire production process AND liberating creative limitations. VP is the integration of real-time gaming engines with a powerfully controllable and immersive digital stage – where any world can be realized on demand.
Motion Control (MOCO) is the use of precisely controlled robotic systems to execute a complex series of timed movements and triggered events. Applications range from ‘tabletop’ product shoots to live-action filmmaking. We now have even greater integration with Virtual Production. Check out our BOLT Jr+.
Generative AI is transforming content creation, making production faster, smarter, and more adaptable. RiTE is pioneering copyright-safe AI workflows, from LoRA AI models for legal advertising to AI-driven tools that streamline virtual environment design—reducing costs while expanding creative possibilities.
RiTE transforms spaces into living canvases through 3D projection mapping and dynamic lighting design. By blending digital artistry with physical environments, we craft immersive brand experiences, interactive installations, and large-scale visuals that captivate audiences.
