Skycar Featured Twice in Adobe’s ‘Make It Happen’ Series Posted on August 29, 2023 by Skycar Creative For the Make it Happen series, we filmed a quick opening that introduced Skycar Creative before getting into Arley and Eunha’s stories. We shot in the lovely Point Richmond, and Skycar Creative HQ, which included some of our awesome team members; although sadly none of the shop dogs were included. Here’s designer Eunha Choi sharing how she mixes contradictory elements in Adobe Photoshop & Adobe Illustrator in order to create surreal scenes using only AdobeStock assets. And here we feature animator and illustrator Arley Cornell as he reveals some of his favorite Adobe After Effects tricks for making organic 2d art come alive through animation.
Recology – Composting Posted on May 15, 2023 by Skycar Creative Curious about the magical powers of composting? Wondering how you can help fight climate change? Of course you are! We partnered with Recology to bring to life this fateful journey of an apple core. You’ll never look at your food scraps the same again.
2022 Skycar Creative Showreel Posted on January 5, 2023 by Skycar Creative 2022 was a tour-de-force of a year moving out of the chaos of the early 20’s and into new realms and new promise. Our year found us animating fantastical landscapes for Adobe Stock in a 3 spot series, shooting in Istanbul and other far flung places for Stellar, making a comedy series and brand film for HPE and editorial on beautiful films about Alaska Native Art for Fine Arts Museums of SF. Oh and a giant whiteboard called Vibe kept us really busy too! It was a wonderful year of expansion including new team members and new clients. We feel incredibly fortunate to do this work and are beyond grateful to those who trust us with their projects and those we trust to make it happen with us. Here’s to 2023 – another year to have fun making cool stuff!
HPE Noir Posted on January 5, 2023 by Skycar Creative It wasn’t originally conceived as so, but each of the HPE Comedy films were so well received that we got an order for another one. For episode 3 we had to set up a huge problem; our writer Joe Morgan conceived a chance to visit the world of 1940 Noir to help illustrate the problem. The talented cast had no problem stepping back in time, and we even got a new cast member to play Rex, a fantastic addition to the team. We loved creating this whole series, who knows, maybe there’s an episode 4?
Stellar x Moneygram Posted on January 5, 2023 by Skycar Creative 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.

FAMSF Alaska Native Art Posted on December 21, 2022 by Skycar Creative 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.

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. To view the complete film series and online story, please visit: FAMSF.org
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.
Flexibility in Action Posted on July 13, 2022 by Skycar Creative The HPE GreenLake team was looking for a story that encompassed the power of their platform including speed, agility and ease of use. We created a go-fast story with characters who we love, who love the product and who could say it all in two minutes. They did it!
A Frictionless Future with Vibe Posted on June 30, 2022 by Skycar Creative The Vibe S1 smartboard is as awesome as it seems; it slices, it dices, it does your homework. We loved making this film with the @the.vibe.board team, they are as kind as the board is cool, and the process was a blast – especially with the amazing cast we got to play with.
