HPE x Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Posted on January 10, 2024 by Skycar Creative We joined HPE on an international adventure – filming in a London fry shop and at a nail-biter of a match in Hotspur Stadium. The VFX magic was added back home.
Skycar x Adobe MAX 2023 Posted on October 30, 2023 by Skycar Creative We recently had two animations feature in the keynote at Adobe MAX. The Skycar team joined in person to watch the work on the big (HUGE!) screen and to take in all the excitement. Our team pulled off the (nearly) impossible with this 2D and 3D mixed animation for Scott Belsky’s keynote address, designed by the talented Marco Mueller. We delivered at the 11th hour and got to see Scott nail the live VO in person at MAX. Our Lightroom sizzle featured in the MAX Keynote and successfully had 10,000 people singing ‘it’s about to get real good’ for the remainder of the day. Our Firefly ‘greatest hits’ sizzle hit adobe.com just in time for MAX to show off all the killer new Firefly capabilities.

Adobe Stock Posted on October 19, 2022 by Skycar Creative During Adobe MAX 2022 week, we wanted to share a collab we did with the crew at Adobe Stock. They invited us to create three animated “fantastic voyages” using only stock assets (video, images, illustrations, textures, and 3D) from their vast libraries. Each journey took our team to unexpected and inspired places – see where they take you! Here, we build a journey through a day, from dawn to dusk, across natural and city landscapes. A series of portals pull us into ever more unexpected scenes filled with beautiful juxtapositions. For this adventure, we play with perceptions of scale as we travel through air, water, a fungal forest, and finally lift off into the beyond.
