We locals call her The City. 49 square miles and famous for her hippies and her beatniks, her architecture and her hilly streets have long been the inspiration for many artists and creators. And she continues to inspire in the era of digital art.
Need just the right sprinkling of blockchain in your enterprise? Our illustrated animation for Bastion shows exactly how to make it happen.
The first in our series of Sponsorship films for HPE imagining a world where anything you need simply (magically!) appears for you – right when you need it. Need coffee? Boom! Wardrobe change? Bam! Well, that’s basically what HPE technology provides for Mercedes (Want data and intelligence right now? Kapow!).
We had the great pleasure of making the IPO Closing Video for Luminar Technologies. It was a really epic collaboration online c19-style involving upward of 12 artists/ animators/ editors and production team telling the story of their lidar enabled autonomous driving.
Earth Day began in 1970. 52 years later, it's more than just a nice concept – instead, it's a powerful reminder that we can't just talk about global warming, we need to take action.
We steeped ourselves in the raw footage, the sounds, the scenery and the history of Alaska native people, in order to create 5 films that truly honor this rich cultural history.

Milestone Alert - Skycar turned 10!
Skycar Creative is officially ten years old this fall. At 6:15am on September 15, 2014 Aaron and Jane officially launched the company and moved into our HQ in Point Richmond, CA. We’re so grateful to be here still, and well aware that it's because of all of our wonderful clients and creative community. Thank you to everyone who has helped us get this far!
Now that we’ve arrived at Skycar 2.0 - we thought we’d include some of the originals that we created along the way.
The good folks at the California Academy of Sciences came to us with a challenge: ‘How can we shake things up for our annual Gala event video as we raise funds for our Thriving California program.’ Well, after a trip to Mars and back, we think we did just that.
Here’s another crazy cool batch of generativeAI features that we helped Adobe announce recently. With an insane turnaround time, we shot a heist-type film scene to show off what the new tools will do. Fellow filmmakers should appreciate some of the quick new ways you can now actually ‘fix it in post’.

This is the first in a series of Sponsorship films for HPE imagining a world where whatever you needed simply (magically!) appears for you – right when you need it. Need coffee? Boom! Wardrobe change? Bam! Want your earbuds? Thwip! Well, that’s kinda like what HPE technology provides for Mercedes (Want data and intelligence right now? Kapow!). It’s what helps make them one of the most successful Formula 1 teams in history. We flew to the UK to shoot with Sir Lewis Hamilton and the team in a huge warehouse with dozens of heritage F1 cars. Watch as everything conjures for Lewis as he walks to his car for a test run. Since it’s the first in a series, please check back for the next one!
We teamed back up with our friends at Stellar to partner on a new case study film. This time we headed out to Dallas, Texas, ate way too much barbecue and pointed our lenses towards the good folks with Moneygram international. Stellar and Moneygram are teaming up to allow users to send money globally, protect against market volatility, and convert digital dollars to local currency at MoneyGram locations worldwide.
