Skycar x Adobe MAX 2023

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.

Stellar x Moneygram

We teamed up with the crew at Stellar to help launch their new partnership with Moneygram International. With the MoneyGram and Stellar partnership, digital wallet holders can now buy and withdraw USDC in cash at MoneyGram locations around the world. We shot locally in Oakland, CA and not so locally in Bali, Indonesia to bring this story to life.

Gnoël – a Skycar original film

Itʻs that time of year, we love the holidays, right? We love it until we find ourselves in the garage lost in the boxes of January disregard. But we must get these lights on the house, we must persevere. Luckily for Mateo he has some unexpected help.

FAMSF Alaska Native Art

We recently wrapped up a months long collaboration with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco to lead post-production on a 5-part documentary series on Alaska Native Art. 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. It features the contributions of artists and cultural practitioners from across Alaska. We are grateful for each person’s participation and guidance: Qaĝaalakux̂, Quyana, Gunalchéesh, Haw’aa, Quyanaq, Thank you.

Adobe Stock

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.
