Studio · Central Mexico · Worldwide
A studio at the
crossing of audiovisual, art
and real-time.
A production house and an art studio in the same frame. Live AV, custom visuals, original scores, real-time pipelines and immersive systems. You brief once; one director carries image, sound and code from treatment to master, bringing in specialists where the project needs them.
Manifesto
Precision-engineered production. Authored as art.
The interesting work today lives between disciplines. Between camera and code. Between gallery and stage. Between brand and artwork. We work in those crossings — with the precision of a control room and the eye of a curator.
In-house label
Under Supervision runs its own label, El Barco Records, as a live R&D lab for the studio's sound-and-visual stack. Every release is a chance to push the same pipeline we bring to client work — on our own name first.
Why us
Our
super-vision.
Three things that decide whether a studio survives a complex brief — and why we built ours around them.
One direction
One director, brief to opening night.
One person directs every commission from treatment to final master and answers for it. Specialist collaborators — camera, sound, live crew — join where a project needs them, always under the same direction. No agency layers, no relay of emails.
Cross-discipline by design
Authored together, not assembled.
Image, sound and system are designed in the same brief — never bolted on after one is locked. The film, the score and the real-time pipeline arrive aligned because the people writing each are in the room from day one.
Curator's eye, producer's discipline
Editorial judgement, on schedule.
We treat output the way a gallery treats a programme — selected, sequenced, accountable. Production rigour protects the idea from brief to master. Editorial judgement decides what's worth keeping in the first place.
Process
How a project
moves.
The sequence behind every commission — kept short, kept transparent.
Discovery
We start by listening. Brief, references, ambition, constraints — we map what the project actually is before a frame is sketched.
Concept & Direction
We draft creative direction, art direction and sonic direction in one document — so image, sound and system arrive aligned.
Production
Disciplined production with direct leads on every track — image, sound, code, fabrication. We protect the idea while it scales.
Delivery & Live
From master files to opening night: post-production, on-site technical direction, run-of-show and after-care for live activations.

Direction
Alejandro Ortiz (pichhhardo) directs Under Supervision from Valle de Bravo, State of Mexico. A multimedia designer specialised in real-time visuals for the past three years, he works with TouchDesigner, Blender and Unreal Engine — rendering and simulation — and thinks of every piece as a single signal of image and sound. For field production, sound and larger-scale projects he coordinates specialist collaborators as each project requires.
