How It Works

Simple by
design.

01

Brief

Share your goals, upcoming campaigns, and priorities at the start of each cycle. We handle the rest.

02

Create

We shoot, produce, and craft all content in-house. No external handoffs, no briefing lag, no diluted vision.

03

Deliver

Finished assets, captions, and a content plan arrive on schedule — ready to publish.

04

Review

Monthly strategy call to review results, refine direction, and plan the next cycle.

The Studio

The careful attention
your brand needs.

Black Opal is a boutique creative studio built around one conviction: that great quality content drives results. But this only happens when an agency deeply listens to their clients, and adheres to their brand values, style and approach. Our client list is small for this very reason.

With a background in professional film and photography, we bring a cinematic eye to every brand story. Strategy, development and delivery all happen in-house. No briefing chains. No agency markup. No handover to external production crew.

We take only a handful of clients at any one time. By design.

Luke Riches, Founder & Creative Lead, Black Opal
The Founder

Meet Luke Riches.

Founder & Creative Lead

Luke is the founder and creative lead of Black Opal, a cinematic creative agency delivering bespoke content to the businesses that need it. An award-winning filmmaker, he spent over a decade crafting films, documentaries and video content for broadcasters such as ABC, SBS, Channel 10 and Paramount. As well as delivering brand content for RAC, Bridgestone, RUOK, Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, and many public sector agencies helping shape some of Australia's most recognised organisations.

His experience spans the entire creative process — strategy, writing, directing, cinematography, sound design, lighting and full post production workflows.

Black Opal distils that 10 years of experience into something sharp: senior creative work, delivered neatly, on time, with nothing lost in translation. When you partner with Black Opal, you are in trusted hands.
