OUR SERVICES
Our multimedia services go beyond our artistic skill sets to include both concept development and skilled project management services, taking a project from its earliest days of conception to the final, exhilarating day of public release. Our team has proven ability and expertise in film production (editing, direction, videography); animation; photography; design / graphic art / illustration; and script-writing, to name a few. Most importantly, our diverse creative skills are coupled with a strong social and ecological awareness, and a keen sense of strategy in applying these skills to create memorable artistic works with impact. To explore more of what we do, see our portfolio.
While much of our work is made in the digital realm, we know that life and the world we are working to influence ultimately exists offline. Our work strives to connect with the real world and real people, remaining grounded, through speaking to some of the most relevant issues of the day. We carefully consider the "after life" of all projects, and how they will move from online to offline impact, in consultation with our clients.

OUR CREATIVE TOOLKIT
ANIMATION is a powerful tool to breathe life into ideas. A series of drawings, perfectly timed and placed creates magic! Drawing from real life and abstract inspirations alike, animation is uniquely suited to storytelling, creating a world that is often a telling parody of our own. Alternatively, these same skills can also be applied to create striking still illustrations.
FILM is perhaps the most "populist" of all contemporary art forms, reaching out to literally billions of people. It is also one of the most democratic mediums, uniquely suited to giving voice to everyday people, our struggles, and issues that matter. Our films combine many artistic elements - video, still images, music, narration, animation and more - in uniquely original ways. To tell a strong story and make it last, both film and animation are powerful options to consider. Together, they are unstoppable!
DESIGN has the power to communicate good ideas with lightening speed, catching your eye with its efficient and striking aesthetic appeal. Our design centers around key thoughts we wish to convey, merging these with striking, provocative imagery. We draw much of our design inspiration from the remarkable "ecological design" of the natural world, connecting our environment to human society.
PHOTOGRAPHY plays with light and form to both capture and transcend life's moments. While the world often seems to just race by, a good photograph - like an artistic form of meditation - pauses the world, giving us time to reflect on what is most important, most beautiful, most ugly and most dear. We often merge our photography with design and film, for added impact.
SOUND transcends what the eyes can only see to add immeasurable texture and nuance to our world. If you want to be heard, one of the first lessons we learn in life is to make a sound! In film and animation, a strong soundscape is often critical for getting audiences to engage with your work, guiding the underlying emotions of a piece for the greatest possible impact.
WRITING offers many ways to help clarify thought. As a highly versatile medium, writing can both articulate exactly what you mean to say with precision, or leave your words open to the great nuances of poetry and interpretation. Writing (and rewriting) is a critical tool we use on an ongoing basis throughout the creative process. Our team's most sharpened writing skills include script writing, poetry, academic writing / essays, public statements, client communication, and extensive note-taking for project management / concept development.

OUR WORK ETHOS
Some of our work is playful and is its own reward - other pieces can be intellectually and emotionally charged, provoking the viewer towards a specific action or response. Many are a combination of the two. We feel the greatest minds have always balanced their desire for change with a good sense of play and humor, and our work aims to do the same. If you have a strong idea or two for making the world better, and feel it aligns with our talents / principles, we'd love to hear about it.
