Interactive Screen Graphics for Film and Television

Askforscreens is a Barcelona-based studio specializing in screen graphics, fictional user interfaces (FUI), and on-set interactive screens for film and television productions.

Founded in 2015 as the screen graphics division of Askfordetails Studio, we have delivered digital interfaces for over 50 productions — including titles for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and leading European broadcasters. Our team of designers and developers works with film crews around the world to create interfaces that live naturally inside the frame: not as background decoration, but as active, actor-driven storytelling tools.

In contemporary film and television, screens are everywhere. Smartphones, messaging apps, surveillance systems, corporate dashboards, medical monitors — digital interfaces have become essential narrative elements that audiences read instantly and judge instinctively.

We design screen graphics for film that feel believable, functional and fully integrated within the visual language of each production. Whether the story is set in a recognizable present or a speculative future, our approach is the same: make every screen feel like it belongs in that world.

As one of the most active screen graphics studios in Europe by production volume, we bring a depth of experience that translates directly into speed, reliability and creative precision on set.

Our work centers on designing fictional user interfaces (FUI) that actors can interact with naturally during filming.

We collaborate closely with production designers, directors and art departments to build digital systems that support the rhythm, emotion and pacing of each scene. Every interface is designed to serve the story first — reinforcing the narrative world while remaining intuitive for performers and readable on camera.

A well-designed screen in film is never just a graphic element. It is part of the story: it reveals character, drives plot, and shapes the audience's understanding of the world on screen.

We design tailored screen graphics for every type of device and narrative context, including:

- Smartphone interfaces and messaging apps — from realistic texting conversations to fictional social media platforms, designed with the micro-details (timestamps, read receipts, profile grids) that make digital communication feel authentic on camera.

- Computer systems and hacking screens — functional, layered interfaces that convey technical complexity without sacrificing readability, used in thriller, crime and espionage narratives.

- Police and investigation databases — structured search interfaces, evidence boards and case management systems built to support procedural storytelling.

- Corporate dashboards and data visualizations — clean, precise interfaces that communicate control, hierarchy and institutional power within a scene.

- Sci-fi control panels and futuristic systems — speculative interface design (FUI) that balances imaginative world-building with intuitive on-screen logic.

- Tablets, kiosks and large-format displays — from hospital check-in screens to public information terminals, each adapted to the physical prop and the scene's requirements.

Every interface is tailored to the tone, technology level and visual style of the production.

The design of a screen interface can define the entire mood of a scene.

A clean corporate dashboard communicates control and precision. A fragmented hacking interface creates tension and chaos. A teenager's phone screen — with its emoji patterns, notification sounds and social media feeds — reveals personality and vulnerability without a single line of dialogue.

Through motion design, typography and interaction choreography, our screen graphics become part of the film's visual language. They reveal information, guide pacing, reflect the psychology of characters, and give directors a powerful tool for visual storytelling that goes far beyond set dressing.

Our core specialty is on-set interactive screens: digital interfaces that actors can touch, trigger and navigate in real time during filming.

This approach — sometimes called on-set playback or practical screen graphics — eliminates the need for chroma key compositing or green screen replacement in post-production. The result is a zero-chroma workflow that saves time and budget while delivering more natural, spontaneous performances. Actors respond to real content on real screens, and the camera captures authentic interactions that no post-production composite can replicate.

When a production requires it, we also design motion graphics and screen content for post-production — including messaging overlays, glitch effects and full-screen interface composites. But whenever possible, we advocate for practical screens on set: the most believable screen is the one that exists physically in the scene.

We work with international film and television productions and can join projects remotely or on location, wherever the shoot takes place.

Our workflow is built for the realities of production: tight schedules, evolving scripts and last-minute changes. We support film crews live during shooting, making rapid adjustments between takes and responding to creative decisions in real time.

Since 2015, we have collaborated with directors, producers, production designers and art departments across drama, comedy, thriller, sci-fi and action productions — building long-term relationships based on trust, flexibility and consistent creative quality.

If you are a production designer, art director, director or producer looking for screen graphics, interactive interfaces or FUI design for an upcoming production, we would love to hear from you.

We are available for projects filming in Spain, across Europe and internationally.
