We are proud to announce that The Pale Blue Dot 2021 is a finalist and made it to 'Official Selection' in the NASA and Houston Cinema Arts Society Cinespace 2021 short film competition.
Synopsis: As the Earth warms, institutions fail and existential threats mount, these words that Carl Sagan spoke decades ago are more prophetic than ever. We invited over 40 people of different ages, ethnicities, genders and backgrounds to re-read The Pale Blue Dot and paired that with NASA and archival historical footage to revitalize this alarmingly important, yet beautiful message.

Seattle agency Possible asked us: Do you have any ideas for a video with the theme, 'Something from Nothing'? Well, we certainly did. The only real ask was that our narrative somehow feature 'Mobility'. Other then that, we were largely left to our own devices. Ever mix Cornstarch with water and pump just the right tone and frequency through it? We were not the first..and we probably won't be the last.

In this day and age of slick editing, complicated motion graphics and computer generated content, it was an absolute pleasure to undertake an analog shoot such as this. In one continuous take we get to see ridiculously choreographed moving props and dancing snowmen while our spokesman manages to get all his lines out and even sing without a single flub. It took many…many tries, but the results were worth it. Here we present the completely ‘analog’ version as well as the ‘digital’ alt version with added motion graphics which add an additional element of pizazz.
Most of us were lucky enough to have had at least one teacher who made a difference in our lives. Mine was Mr. Templeton who taught me critical thinking and how to tell the difference between a fallacious and a sound argument. Here, 3 of our piers tell their own stories about a teacher who made a difference to them.
It's pretty hard to film a school of happy, playing preschoolers (or 'Littles' as they are called at Sweet Pea Cottage) with an Epic camera and not come out with truly amazing footage and a really fun promotional video.
With dozens of pizza commercials on the airwaves, it’s pretty hard to stand out. Capitalizing on their over the top rock & roll motif, these spots pack a silly punch as they poke fun at but also make heroes of a stereotypical suburban family. Here we present one :30 along with several :15's.
When presented with 3 amazing scripts for an up and coming local beverage company we simply could not say no. In fact, we almost begged to make these clever and funny spots. Casting the real owners of the company as themselves was the right choice, given their wonderfully awkward yet sincere on camera presence. Yes, they are MBA's and they make great cider. Here, we present 'Apple Orchard', 'Forklift' and 'Lemonade Gang'.
When we were approached by Possible to execute this funny, original and dynamic creative, our first task was to learn everything there was to know about juggling. Yes, 'juggling'. After immersing ourselves in this majestic acrobatic art form, we discovered that what our client was asking for was simply impossible to capture 'in camera'. After a series of motion tests... some of which required Issara (CD) to repeatedly toss a ukulele in the air while wearing a skin tight green suit (see 'behind the scenes' photos...if you dare), we realized the solution was to have our actor pantomime real juggling and adding 3D objects and motion in post production. Live action Director John Hilton was instrumental in helping mesh the humor, visual effects and core brand messaging while Creative Director Issara Willenskomer and Visual Effects Supervisor Sam Rohr hit us a visual effects grand slam. Don't take my word for it.....see for yourself....

From daily activities to sports activities to expressive movement, it provides a softer, poetic, and more personal approach to physical performance that helps you eleviate incorrect physical movements, which can lead to chronic pain or even long-term damage. The more precise you can move, the faster you improve your fitness and overall health.
The Move experience consists of a wearable technology garment and mobile app. The garment includes 4 stretch and bend sensors located in the front, back and sides. Together, they read your body’s position and muscle movement, assess whether it is correct, and provide real-time feedback to correct it through haptic feedback components located in the hips and shoulders. A mobile app allows you to assess, manage and customize your experience.

Ping is a garment that connects to your Facebook account wirelessly and from anywhere. It allows you to stay connected to your friends and groups of friends simply by performing natural gestures that are built into the mechanics of the garments we wear. Lift up a hood, tie a bow, zip, button, and simply move, bend and swing to ping your friends naturally and automatically. No phone, no laptop, no hardware. Simply go about your day, look good and stay connected.
Ping exists as a fully functional prototype and this project is a narrative video collaboration between Electric Foxy, and Dos Rios.
Scanadu is a startup working to build a medical tricorder, which, as we learned, is a device that will diagnose disease simliar to the omni unit thing from Star Trek. Working closely with IDEO, we crafted, designed and animated lovely UX visuals over their beautifully shot footage.
MakerHaus is an awesome membership-based facility that provides prototyping equipment and resources to industrial designers, and creatives of all kinds.
Tasked with concepting and creating compelling customer facing content for a new business who’s physical space did not yet exist, we executed 3 case study videos each highlighting the needs, hurdles and goals of a potential MakerHaus member.
With the release of each new mobile device, we create a new video to inform AT&T employees about the particular benefits and features associated with that device. Before our involvement, these videos were dry and tedious. Since viewing is not mandatory for AT&T employees, there was a need to make them more entertaining while still conveying important core messaging. To solve this problem, we introduced character alter egos and added humor to the scripts. Now, viewership is way up. As in productivity has significantly dropped at AT&T. Honestly, it's become a major problem. If your call gets dropped, it's probably our fault.
With many high quality camera phones on the market, AT&T approached us with several concepts to set the HTC One X apart. Agreeing that a skateboarder was the right visually dynamic motif, we proceeded to the coolest skate park in Seattle with one of our favorite DP’s and his hand-held Epic Camera rig. Believe it or not, the skater is actually one of our clients. Paul Breslin and Rick Wallace (client) worked closely together and shared directing credit.
The challenge was to create several TV spots as well as a Jumbotron introduction video that would get the fans on their feet and whip them into a frenzy. We spent a week with the team shooting everything we could on a hand held Red Camera rig. Shooting this spot was a lot of fun. Paul is actually taller than several of the players, which made him feel superior even though they were millionaire superstar athletes. Which really tells you a lot about Paul and where his priorities are at.
This spot playfully highlights the new Beats Audio feature of the HTC One X and is the result of a great creative collaboration we had directly with our AT&T client. In this case, AT&T brought the basic creative idea to the table and we helped them to flush it out and then nail the execution. Paul Breslin and Rick Wallace (client) worked closely together and shared directing credit.
Cole & Weber approached us to create an agency pitch video. Keeping the focus on Seattle neighborhoods and families allowed us to create a warm and human backdrop to tell the story of the take and bake family dining experience. Not to be confused with wake and bake. Although apparently that's now legal in Washington State.
The challenge was to demonstrate how visitors might interact with stunning next generation touch screens on an observation deck that did not yet exist. Our solution was to construct an elegant 3D UX environment and travel through it as if it really existed. We traveled to Dallas with a GigaPan camera to capture the panorama views from the top of the tower. These became high resolution plates that can be seen in the final video.
Camera Futura is a viral next generation product video produced for Artefact to help promote their Camera Futura concept camera. We worked closely with Artefact to develop a user experience scenario that matched their messaging and was designed to generate intrigue. The video was hugely successful, generating an immense amount of industry buzz and discussion. Why you may ask? Well, one reason was because the whole user experience portrayed in the video was created in post production. The actual camera was a prop. We added all the screen elements in post. I know, it doesn't look like it, but that's because we're crazy good at our job.

Tasked with cinematically portraying the benefits of a new HTC phone, director Yaque Silva-Doyle combined beautiful footage and elegant storytelling in this ‘day in the life’ piece for Hornall Anderson. The target audience for the device and video was mid 20 something professional women in the northern latitude who were left handed and liked to eat oatmeal in the morning. As this is our key demographic that we usually market to, we were old hats at this, and ended up creating this polished and filmic video that ended up causing Riots in Canada, a place that doesn't often see many riots in the winter months.
Working directly with AT&T we cast 2 amazing young actors to play out a friendly ‘My Dad’s smarter then you Dad…’ scenario, playfully promoting the many features of the new U-verse product.
The brief tasked us with coming up with a rich and inspiring metaphor to pair with T-Mobile's Mall product. Our instincts quickly took us in the right direction, and the client was dazzled by our ambitious mall execution. Playing on large wall screens at T-Mobile store across the country, this piece elegantly informs customers about T-Mobile Mall's mobile products and services.
With two new devices about to enter the market, we were asked to create a series of customer facing device feature videos. With the correct use of the T-Mobile brand always in mind, these videos educate consumers and helps them choose the proper device that best fits their needs. Here we created one 'Overview' video to highlight the many features of the device, and two 'Feature' videos, each focusing on a unique and innovative aspect of the device.

Now that Microsoft is manufacturing their own state of the art hardware, they have a need to tell this new story to the public. Integrating Window’s 8 branding with a modern, high tech sensibility, we concepted, shot and executed 7 customer facing product oriented device spots.
B2B case studies can often be tedious to watch. To avoid this problem we leveraged creative BRoll and time-lapse footage of the Philips NASA like manufacturing facility along with 3 great interviews to tell this compelling story. The location inspired us to re-create scenes from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but due to time constraints, we had to scale back our ambitions.
