We are

THE BLACK CACTUS STUDIOS

Where we come from

We used to be Craneomedia

You may already know us as Craneomedia: for years we were a reference name in the world of music videos, with hundreds of productions behind us. In 2020 we made the leap — a new brand, more professional and geared towards advertising, and a newly built stage of our own. We changed the name and the face; the team and the drive are still the same.

Today

Craneomedia is today The Black Cactus Studios. The same essence, a new image.

We were born in 2020 as an evolution of Craneomedia and since then we have not stopped shooting, in Spain and abroad.

Who is behind it

Guillermo Centenera

CEO · Director and camera operator

A Madrid-born director and operator with hundreds of projects behind him across advertising and music videos. A gimbal specialist and also an editor: a versatile filmmaker in love with the craft and anything that smells of camera.

At 20 he had already built a stage for castings and directed test shoots for top-tier advertising production companies for five years —hence his touch directing actors—. Today he combines directing and camera work with the technical development of the studio.
