About

A small studio.
Big rooms.

Fort Studios builds LED wall content, live event visuals, and motion graphics from Atlanta — for arena tours, corporate stages, and brand activations that have to land at scale. Founded and run by Will Fortanbary.

The studio

Built by hand.

Fort Studios started as one freelance creative director in Atlanta and grew into a small shop without losing the freelancer's directness. No account managers. No layers between you and the people building the work. The brief lands with the people who execute it.

We work in three lanes — LED wall content, live event visuals, and motion & brand. Most projects pull from two of the three. A tour package needs LED content and a brand identity. A corporate keynote needs a stage opener and a transition pack. The studio is set up for that overlap, not against it.

Our work has run on screens for Dude Perfect's Pound It Noggin Tour, Alan Jackson's Last Call Tour, Chick-fil-A's NEXT corporate conference, Josh Turner's That Country Music Thing, the Beloved Benefit, and YouVersion's Beyond a Billion. Plus team graphics for the Patriots and Texans. Most of it didn't have our name on it. That's the trade — we'd rather build than market.

Founder

Run by one.
With trusted hands.

Fort Studios runs lean by design. One creative lead on every project, with a small network of trusted 3D artists, animators, and producers we bring in by name when scope demands it. The voice on the call is the voice on the timeline.

Founder & Creative Direction

Will Fortanbary

Founded Fort Studios in Atlanta in 2015. Started as a freelance creative director, then built a small studio around the work. Most days: directing creative, running 3D, color, and the parts of a project that need a single set of hands at the wheel.

Translation
work.

Sometimes the work is just translation. Agency creative and production specs don't always line up — pixel maps, codecs, color pipelines, run-of-show timing. Fort Studios sits between them, reads both, and keeps the file from breaking on show day.

Available as a standalone consulting engagement, project-based or hourly. Tell us about the room and the deck — we'll tell you where the gaps are.

How we work

Four rules.
That we keep.

Not a manifesto. The actual operating principles producers learn about us in the first call.

01
The brief lands
where the work happens.
No account managers between you and the work. The first call is with the person who will be in the timeline.
02
We scope honestly.
If your timeline is too tight or the scope doesn't fit, we'll say so before you sign — and either rescope, phase the work, or refer you to someone who's a better fit.
03
We speak
both languages.
Bilingual in client briefs and production specs. Brief us in marketing language or in pixel maps and codecs — we read both. Less translation tax, fewer misfires on show day.
04
We coordinate cleanly.
Production companies, AV teams, lighting designers, agency creatives — we work to your cue list and your file specs. The studio fits into the show, not the other way around.
