One of my favorite creative studios to work with ! full stop. Their videos are consistently smart, emotional, and beautifully made, with that rare mix of depth and style. They bring the same level of artistry to storytelling as they do to sound and music. And as a bonus, they’re genuinely fun people to collaborate with : thoughtful, curious, and endlessly creative.

I had such a great experience working with RIOT. From the very first call, they really listened to what I was trying to do and came back with ideas that felt spot on. The whole process was super smooth. They were organized, creative, and easy to communicate with. What I really appreciated was how collaborative they were. They were right there every step of the way. The end result came out even better than I imagined, and I’ve gotten so many compliments on the work. I’d absolutely work with them again and recommend them to anyone who wants a team that cares as much about the project as you do

Leo Petrolo's Review Sourced from Google
Had an awesome experience with Melty Cone Video. The whole team was super easy to work with and really knew what they were doing. The studio setup was clean, organized, and honestly way more professional than I expected. They listened to what we wanted, gave great direction, and still let us have creative input without making anything stressful.The final video came out super clean, great lighting, great editing, and exactly the vibe we were going for. You can tell they actually care about the outcome and not just getting the job done fast.If you need a video production team that’s talented, friendly, and actually fun to work with, this is the place. Would 100% work with them again.

Robert S's Review Sourced from Google
I was the project manager for developing a website for my partner's dental practice in midtown Manhattan (davidsondmd.com, if you want to see it).Nick and team at Empirical designed the logo and branding and created the website. Absolutely everything they did was high quality, and the results are delightful. We are really pleased with the website and are proud to have it represent the business.Nick was great to work with. He listened carefully to what we were looking for, and was proactive and creative in designing options. He was also very responsive to questions and requests, and worked hard to get even the last details done right.I am very happy with the results and highly recommend Nick and Empirical.

Impeccable craftsmanship and design work. Empirical Designs is very easy to work with. Nick does a great job of helping you find your voice through branding, and doesn't force anything. I have used his services again, and again and will continue to do so.

Empirical design is a great business to say the least! Nick took me under his wing and gave and still gives me guidance whenever needed. The work is always top notch whether it be apparel design or mock ups or album art work, the customer is always beyond pleased. I would recommend nick and his business to anyone in need of design work, no doubt about it!
