A young company with a big heart and great ideas.

Maka is where your project is treated as our own. It is where all of us strive in our respective fields to handle the whole production process for our clients, from concept design to filming to colour grading, and we do this to the highest possible standard and as efficiently as can be.
Our videos are our bread and butter, Maka is a place where our passions meet to create a complete, holistic production which we can all take pride in. And we enjoy it every step of the way.
So if you’re looking to make a video you can show off with, either get in touch through the phone, email us, or pop by our office.
PS: We have coffee. And chocolate… sometimes.
Come Say Hi
Meet our Team
Mad skills in light and frame and passionately dedicated to the wolfpack that is Maka Visuals. Sean leads by example… methodically driven while keeping cool and earnest with every new project. Work struggles to leave his mind, yet he strives for time to travel, wine and dine, while balancing the rest between his love for Karate and Mediterranean cuisine.
There are two places in which you can find Maria, either in her office or in London. If you haven't met her yet and you live in Malta, you have most definitely heard her... either laughing or sneezing (no, it wasn't an earthquake). Nothing brightens the room as Maria does, she is the one that keeps the rest of us in line and is definitely the bubbliest, most caring, intelligent and responsible woman in our team. Maybe it's just because she is the only one...
Maka's very own magician and software whisperer, he's usually the first to arrive and the last to leave the office. Always there when you need him, behind his fortress of monitors, having his tea. He’s our quiet but creative version of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Like a god, he has all the power on set, and makes sure that all departments get his vision and bring it to life in an effective video. Matthew takes directing very seriously, so don’t get offended if he’s unimpressed with any of your ideas. If he sounds a bit eccentric, chill… we assure you, he’s a great guy who spends 80% of his time coming up with jokes, and invests the remaining 20% refining his jokes to make them even better.
Jake is super fun to have around, consistently chill and fashionable. He’s always up to date with everything, deadlines, shows, movies, football and video games. We’re pretty sure he’s got time warping abilities, which makes perfect sense given that he’s our editor.
Our youngest and brightest. When he’s not busy animating a great video, he’s probably listening to some xxxTentacion in a lowered classic BMW. Super hard working and creative, the perfect teammate were it not for his questionable music taste.

How We Do It
As soon as a project lands on MAKA Visuals’ desk the production team together with the creative director get to work. The creative director will start a process of thorough research to make sure his concepts and ideas are relevant to the project, while the production team will be working hand in hand with location managers, casting directors, production designers, stylists and anything else the production might need. Storyboards of the confirmed concept will be sent to the client, ensuring that their vision for the project and our concept are on the same page. Finally it is up to the production team to coordinate everything that is needed for filming. Since every project is different from the last, we allocate specialised crew and the appropriate equipment for the particular job depending on its particular needs and budget.
On the day of the shoot it’s all hands on deck! Our experienced crew will be the first on set, getting everything set up and ready for filming, making sure that any specialised equipment necessary for the shoot is carefully assembled. With the help of countless coffees provided by the production team, everyone will be working at full speed to ensure that his or her department is working seamlessly to get everything ready for when it’s time to hit record. Whilst our creative director will be working closely with the cast to get the best actions and reactions, our cinematographer and his crew of highly trained assistants will be there ready to capture the perfect shot… cos that’s how we roll!
After filming it is time for our post-production team to work their magic. Our editor will choose the very best shots to create an engaging storyline before moving on to the final processes of colour grading and sound design. That’s the bare skeleton of what we do but our post-production gurus can definitely step it up. Our team is capable of complex motion graphics, visual effects, 2D & 3D animations and also custom music composition.
