Even animated pets have feelings. And Molly's dog Barbecue HATES when you spell his name with a "Q". It makes him really unhappy. This animation shows how Adobe Acrobat lets his owner edit a dog-walking contract from anywhere, so he won't have hurt-feelings for long.
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.
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.

This year we hopscotched around the globe: Southwest deserts and NYC streets for Adobe's Lightroom Campaign, Valencia for an artist profile. Plus our backyard in SF where we produced an exhibit film for the Fine Arts Museums (now in The de Young's permanent collection—not too shabby).
This summer, we joined our Adobe friends on a three spot campaign for Adobe Lightroom. The new campaign leverages live action, animation and photography to highlight how everyday photographers use Lightroom to quickly edit pics into professional quality photos to share with friends, family (and the ‘gram, obvs.)
This past summer, we partnered with Adobe to profile Valencian filmmaker and motion designer Antoni Sendra (@Podenco) and his rhythm-driven approach to creativity. The mission: show how Photoshop and After Effects turned Antoni into a one-person mixed media production company.
