A creative studio rooted in Lagos. ↓
Outtakes is a Lagos-based creative studio specialising in brand films and visual identity systems. We work with founders, startups, and institutions who believe that story is strategy — and that where you come from shapes what you make.
Our name is a nod to what gets cut: the moments between the performance. We think those moments matter. That’s why we build brands that don’t just look right — they feel honest.
Every project starts with a question: what does this actually need to say? From there we build outward — into motion, into type, into the grain of the thing.
Show, don’t tell.
Film first. Every identity we build has motion at its core, because brands live in time — not just space. We build for the frame before the static.
Every frame is intentional.
Nothing accidental. We sweat the spacing, the tempo, the colour temperature. Details accumulate into identity. Shortcuts accumulate into noise.
Lagos is the brief.
The density, the colour, the audacity of this city is our primary reference. We don’t strip it out — we distil it. Our work looks like us, because it should.
