Zvky Design Studio
Zvky Design Studio is an entertainment design firm founded in 2009. Based in the “silicon valley of India”, Zvky is the natural evolution of several industries that have led to the growing influence of Bangalore in the media and entertainment industries. We help creative clients realize their ideas. Zvky concentrates on next generation entertainment design by aggregating talented and experienced artists who have worked for various international studios like Disney, DreamWorks, EA, Ubisoft, Activision, Epic, and Thomson/Technicolor. Our capabilities stem from a variety of backgrounds, from architecture, industrial design, gaming design, broadcast television, and film. Our philosophy is to provide our clients with high quality and original solutions for issues that are often hard to express in a rational medium. Concepts that only exist in the minds of the clients can be difficult to convey in form and function without some help. Our role is to enable the client, whether from consolidating a concept through sketches or re-working a 3D character model until it finally portrays a crucial actor in a story. Zvky (pronounced Zvee Kee) is named after the Swiss astronomer and physicist Fritz Zwicky, who discovered dark matter and dark energy. Like Zwicky, our company is always watching its dreams and visions voraciously to discover the unexplored matter beyond science.
