“Dimensions” metaphorically portrays the creative process through a multi-dimensional journey. The film follows five heroes pulled into unique worlds who interact with their inhabitants and gather the knowledge required to exit the multiverse. With each step of the journey, we delve deeper into the multi-dimensional landscapes of a creator’s imagination, exploring the boundless possibilities of their creative vision and the inspiration that fuels it.

The film debuted at the 2023 SCAD Fashion Show in Atlanta, GA, kicking off an exciting runway showcase of graduating student garments led by opening model, Coco Rocha.

Come as you are. Be who you want. Elevate alongside friends and strangers alike. Gila River Resorts & Casinos has opened its doors to capture the authenticity and individuality in all of us. We wrapped this message in an exciting set of films that celebrates the experience through stylish live action and animated accents.

Hark how the bells! In other words, we were incredibly excited to revisit the Verizon Holiday Promo world. Diving back into the musically-driven festivities and finding a way to refine a world full of choreography and life. From the practicality of our set, to the performances and subtle nod to the clever self-awareness of the brand, we found unique ways to extend the larger brand and continue to add an artful perspective.

Beneath each sport vignette lies a metaphorical story of navigating chaos through a vast and volatile digital space. These stories are about the willingness to overcome and the strength of the underlying Akamai technology. Unrivaled content delivery, performance, and security are portrayed by three elite athletes who shift and adapt to any obstacle thrown their way.

From the moment we got eyes on the unique concept to create films beyond the traditional tech explainer, we dove in headfirst with our friends at Doremus and never looked back. We crafted an artful and energetic visual world through the mixture of colorful lighting, practical weather FX, and high-speed photography. With a dash of Scholar animation, we elevated the live action pieces into a space rippling with coding and data visualization.

Welcome to the Edge of the internet.

Working closely with our team of designers and stylists, we created four custom fashion pieces inspired by the impossibly compact shape of the Galaxy Z Flip. Each talent and wardrobe was then designed into a set influenced by real-world spaces. We broke down these realistic settings into their essential parts, and created minimalist, monochromatic set designs that relied solely on shape and lighting.

It’s not often you get to launch a brand-new branch of the military. The future of space defense is here. And this is the dawn of a new identity for the United States Space Force. A grounded, textural version of the sci-fi we imagined as kids. Mind-blowing technology, wrapped within the realm of our own existence. The people on the ground, working to make things happen beyond our planet. Dreamers with the grit, the strength and the fiber that make the branch work.

Teaming up again with our friends at BBDO NY, we created a spot illustrating the far-reaching impact of ExxonMobil jobs in the community by stringing together practical art directed spaces and choreographed camera moves.

Using the professions as textural inspiration, we designed each set as a sculptural snapshot of the workspace. A glimpse of each job, plucked from their environment and collected together in our warehouse space.

Let’s be clear. Sahale’s Nut lust isn’t food porn.
It’s a visceral journey that runs the full gamut of senses and goshdarnit, it’s classy AF. It’s framed to excite, to look you in the eye and dare you to take a handful. But overall, it’s more than just nuts. It’s the refined presentation, the relationship of the ingredients, the sweet, the savory, the mouthwatering“ness” that teases the taste buds while glorifying the artfulness of the brand. Romantic stories unfolding in rich, visceral moments of neon type and the light-kissed product.

Cravings personified. Tastefully sensual. Sophisticated and eager.

As a true collaborative process alongside Hill Holiday’s amazing team, this project planted itself quickly and firmly into our emotional stratosphere. From the moment we began the steps of uncovering the narrative thread that would tie the world of Bank of America’s “Power to” campaign together we were hooked. The visuals. The message. The tone and uplifting language of the campaign. We were electric. 

To us this was an opportunity to craft something artful. To utilize our design-driven prowess and create an emotive world. To curate a powerful, own-able aesthetic for Bank of America. We brought with us our own amazing energy and allowed the positivity of the brand to shed a light on their wonderful endeavors in an elevated way. We also created a world where our heroes could comfortably tell their stories while simultaneously being immersed in a visually stunning world of their own creation.

The course of history has been shaped by an infinite number of choices made since the dawn of time. But that's the history we know… what about the history that could have been? In collaboration with gnet, we take viewers on a zooming journey for one of Xbox’s latest game trailers. With a dash of cinematic style, we highlight the leaders forging their way through history. Our goal was to capture the imagination of gamers by mixing contrasting elements from the past and future –Egyptian pyramids entrenched deep into an arctic landscape, a modern city celebrating the return of a Byzantine empress. In Ara, the possibilities of stories untold are limitless.

For this year's March Madness tournament, we teamed up with the folks at Google and Eleven, Inc. to create live TV spots airing during the games to present a real-time data prediction created by Google Cloud. We created a toolkit packed with animation and editable supers capable of producing thousands of iterations to account for any number of possibilities.

During production at Scholar, our artists were tasked with the challenge of adapting quickly and tackling a range of design styles as concepts were developed. The success of each idea was dependent on the unique and eye-catching look and feel of each moment that lived between supers. So we tapped into every style we could think of to create exciting bursts of animation, CG, and live action. With less control over exactly which shots were chosen to air, we needed to ensure our toolkit of design was stylistically balanced, and would always capture the mixed-media Google style.
