Team

Experience behind the studio.

Silverlake Studios is built by artists and supervisors who have spent years working across VFX, post-production, commercial, music video and feature work. Before Silverlake, our founders worked with some of the industry's leading studios, agencies and production companies, leading teams and delivering work for major global brands and entertainment projects. Today, that same experience goes into how we run Silverlake: experienced artist, direct communication and a team built to scale with each project.

Co-Founder | VFX Supervisor | Executive Producer

Brad Clapper

Brad brings a broad creative and production background spanning VFX, motion graphics, Unreal Engine, VR experiences, directing, on-set supervision and producing. His ability to work across different disciplines has allowed him to move comfortably between creative, technical and production roles throughout his career. A bit of a Swiss Army knife, Brad works across the studio's creative, production and operational sides.

Executive Producer

Courtney Kolloff

Courtney brings more than a decade of producing experience across music videos, commercials, independent projects, episodic and feature films. She has worked with productions of all sizes and understands what it takes to keep a project moving while making sure the creative stays at the center.

She believes every project deserves the same level of attention, whether it's a small production or a large-scale project.
