Barbecue is the personal design studio of creative director Rüdiger Chmielus. From being an editing freelancer since 1994, he has developed and honed his skills in motion graphics and high end commercial post-production.

Having been formerly involved with post-production companies, Rüdiger decided to start his own independent studio to create abstract designs and surreal worlds, giving room for creative experiments and excellent work.

Coming from Germany, much of his work centres around cars, with a range of clients including Audi, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, Lotus, Mercedes-Benz, Opel, Porsche, Seat, Toyota and Volkswagen.

Although there is a lot of post-production work involved in the daily business, Barbecue cannot be compared to or seen as a classic post-production company. For Rüdiger, it is very important that he oversees and supervises each project to guarantee quality and style. Barbecue therefore has its own mantra: "We don’t do annoying rubbish!"
