👻 We Hope Everyone Has A Hauntingly Ghoulish Halloween 🎃

30/10/2024

We've been playing around with generative AI fill tools in our workflows, and it's super useful to expand the possibilities of what we can create for our clients. What might have taken hours of collecting images and compositing can now be done in half the time.

With GenAI evolving so quickly, we don't know how it's going to impact our industry in the long term. For now, it's our job to keep experimenting with it, understand its limitations, and be cautiously optimistic about all the things it can help us create.

A future where AI helps save time on menial tasks to free up more time for human creativity is one that we can all hope for.

Don't miss our event on Oct. 2: Creating for Connection, from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. Our two panels are not to be missed.

➡️ Panel 1 •Data vs. Art: Marketing has always been driven by data, while content traditionally captures the brand's heart. Recently, however, viewership and audience engagement have become a science, creating an inflection point where engagement optimization drives storytelling. This panel will unpack this conflict and explore its implications for the future of content.

➡️ Panel 2 • Speed to Market with Content: With limited resources, brands must keep up with an increasingly unmanageable pace of content production. Most brands have divided their efforts between short-form, lightweight content, and long-form brand storytelling. In this session, we’ll discuss how content teams can better ensure brand coherence, consistency, and speed to market across these different verticals.

Next month, Casual will be hosting our very own conference in San Francisco: Creating for Connection.

COVID-19 represented a seismic shift in the content production space. That pace of change has only increased, with constrained budgets and accelerating competition driving demand for new technologies and innovative approaches to storytelling. The rise of AI and other advanced tools is revolutionizing how we create and distribute content, offering—with caveats—unprecedented opportunities for efficiency and creativity.

This event will explore these technological advancements, showcasing how they can be leveraged to produce compelling content that resonates with audiences worldwide.

Casual was invited to an Invest Hong Kong Press Conference to talk about why we chose to expand in Hong Kong.

We chose the Hong Kong market because it's important strategic
market that opens up access to APAC and mainland China. With its world-class infrastructure and strategic location, Hong Kong offers unparalleled connectivity, linking businesses and creative industries to major markets across Asia and globally. This makes it an ideal hub for international collaboration and expansion​.

Since opening our doors in New York in 2011, Casual has had an incredible journey establishing its presence in the US. Our NY team today is a powerhouse that services top clients like Hilton, TIME Magazine, Sol de Janeiro, Fortune and more.

We’ve moved across four different offices: from a tiny co-working space on Varick St. to the warehouse on West St., to our office in Greenpoint, to our current digs in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. We’ve fed our souls with sweet treats from Peter Pan donuts, called ‘quiet on set’ only for a seaplane to bear down on us over head, and made many, many great memories with our team and clients over the last decade and a half.

To commemorate the journey, Senior Animator Rich Clements designed a beautiful mural for our office. Peppering those memorable easter eggs throughout the design, Rich (with the help of Sophie Sieckmann’s painting skills) created a piece of art that now lives forever in our office.

Check out the BTS of the project below -- and a big thank you to Sophie and Rich for pulling off this exceptional feat!

We made something fun and berrylicious with the team at Sanitarium.

Weet-Bix is an Aussie breakfast classic that’s been around for decades. Last year, the team launched a new flavour in their gluten-free range: Berry Flavour Crunch.

They needed an engaging, eye-catching, and informative video for the launch. With a carefully orchestrated shoot in studio, we animated a set of real-world elements to bring to life the delicious, berry-filled flavours of Weet-Bix. Check it out!

Our Story

Casual Films produces corporate and brand video for multinational businesses. Working globally, we support companies like BMW, GoDaddy, Facebook, Marriott, PwC, RedBull and Vodafone in communicating with video.

In 2006, our co-founders Barnaby Cook and Nick Francis took part in an old car rally from London to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. They produced 15 diary films on the journey for Expedia. Working with just a camcorder and a laptop, they realized they were at the leading edge of the video production revolution.

That lightweight, high-quality approach won significant awards, new staff, and followers. Casual was voted number one corporate production company in the UK, by our peers, for three years running. To date, we have produced nearly 10,000 films – continually honing our proprietary production process.

Building on these successes in the UK, Casual Films opened in New York in 2011. Our formula worked well in the US; the business grew significantly over the following years. The San Francisco office opened in 2017 and with Los Angeles following in early 2019. We were even recognized by a Board of Trade Award in 2018 for services to transatlantic commerce.
