What’s the latest?

Hey, look what we got up to last year. Thank you to all of our clients and creative community for making it such a productive and exciting 2024!

From FADE IN to FADE TO BLACK... Adobe is with you, the filmmaker, every step of the way. We teamed up with Adobe Studio to bring this 30 second 'Ode to filmmaking' to the big screen at this year's Sundance Film Festival.

For proof that nature is a powerful healing force, look no further than Gold Star Peak just outside of Anchorage, AK.

Milestone Alert - Skycar turned 10!
Skycar Creative is officially ten years old this fall. At 6:15am on September 15, 2014 Aaron and Jane officially launched the company and moved into our HQ in Point Richmond, CA. We’re so grateful to be here still, and well aware that it's because of all of our wonderful clients and creative community. Thank you to everyone who has helped us get this far!

With the help of jibs, dollies, and probe lenses we helped visualize breaking out of the “black box” of user experience data for Amplitude. Watch how we brought light into the darkness.

Here’s another crazy cool batch of generativeAI features that we helped Adobe announce recently. With an insane turnaround time, we shot a heist-type film scene to show off what the new tools will do. Fellow filmmakers should appreciate some of the quick new ways you can now actually ‘fix it in post’.

No matter how futuristic Adobe’s new digital tools get, the soul of these products remains rooted in tangible art. To celebrate the one year anniversary of Adobe’s Generative Ai tool, Firefly, we mixed the future with the past and sprinkled in a solid helping of fun.

The good folks at the California Academy of Sciences came to us with a challenge: ‘How can we shake things up for our annual Gala event video as we raise funds for our Thriving California program.’ Well, after a trip to Mars and back, we think we did just that.

Before looking ahead, here’s a quick smattering of projects we got to jam on last year. Thanks to all for your collaboration!

Need just the right sprinkling of blockchain in your enterprise? Here’s our illustrated animation for Bastion that shows how to make it happen.

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.

This is the first in a series of Sponsorship films for HPE imagining a world where whatever you needed simply (magically!) appears for you – right when you need it. Need coffee? Boom! Wardrobe change? Bam! Want your earbuds? Thwip! Well, that’s kinda like what HPE technology provides for Mercedes (Want data and intelligence right now? Kapow!). It’s what helps make them one of the most successful Formula 1 teams in history. We flew to the UK to shoot with Sir Lewis Hamilton and the team in a huge warehouse with dozens of heritage F1 cars. Watch as everything conjures for Lewis as he walks to his car for a test run. Since it’s the first in a series, please check back for the next one!

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.

We teamed back up with our friends at Stellar to partner on a new case study film. This time we headed out to Dallas, Texas, ate way too much barbecue and pointed our lenses towards the good folks with Moneygram international. Stellar and Moneygram are teaming up to allow users to send money globally, protect against market volatility, and convert digital dollars to local currency at MoneyGram locations worldwide.

Welcome to the future! Adobe is coming in hot with its new AI features, and now they’re available in Adobe Express. The Skycar squad stepped up the energy for this new sizzle collaboration, check it out!
