The thing about this series that we love so much is it's versatility. Animation offers coverage 🎨 when you're stuck without a great camera, have low quality audio, or you're in a last minute pickle to make something work. It's that flexibility that makes it such a powerful tool 🔥 🔥 🔥!

Why stop at one post? A single interview can fuel an entire content strategy. 🎙️➡️🎥➡️📱 By breaking your audio into multiple animated clips, you can maximize reach across platforms—short reels, in-feed posts, and even YouTube shorts. 📊 The best part? You don’t have to record anything new - just need a little motion!

Let’s put some of these February budget saving tips into action! 🎬 Imagine you gave an incredible speech or were featured on a podcast—now, with animation and motion design, we bring those insights to life. 🚀 That's the reality for TransPerfect and here are a few snippets from the project - full collection online!

You’ve already put in the work—keynote speeches, expert interviews, deep-dive discussions. But are they reaching their full potential? 🤔 Instead of letting them sit in archives, turn them into visually engaging content like we did for TransPerfect - here are a few snippets!

How do you build something that's constantly changing? That was a hurdle for this IBM project we worked on with our friends at Myriad Media. Choosing and finding the right stock is always a hurdle, and in this instance, we had to build a structure that could be fluid for stakeholders as there was constant back and forth. A true testament to the animation team that built this bespoke template!

We're continuing our February posts around maximizing content budgets with this piece for IBM and Myriad Media. Anyone who says "stock videos are boring" has a preconceived notion of what a stock video is. When shots are paired correctly with dynamic movement, it can be a great way to breathe life into a video that needs to move quick!

We still can't believe the Chiefs are going for three in a row, but at least we don't have to change out the graphics we made last year when we tracked the live-scoring for SB LVIII 😅 Here's a look at those graphics dashtronauts John McGowan and Jacob Garcia worked on.

It's all about empowering teams - whether it's our team or yours. Simplifying complexity and reducing project files to easily adjustable "essential graphics" panels allowed us to scale content quickly and efficiently.

How do you build content that scales without losing fidelity? How about video that can be translated across verticals? Using a bespoke, templatized approach, dash was able to help ShareFile create modularity through containers that allowed us to change-out imagery and copy so one video could become six!

Foosball and holidays have one thing in common: everyone’s spinning and no one’s sure who’s winning ;)

Here's a quick playback-recording from the game so you can get a vibe of the characters and environment in action. It's really fun to play, but be ye forewarned... it's tough! Link to the game is on the project page if you'd like to play.

Animation is a time consuming process. Not only do you have to design the graphics, but you then have to put it in motion. To eliminate any ambiguity of creative intentions, we went through the entire list of assets for the game and began sketching and rendering frames for approval. There were a lot of static assets that only required some simple sketches, while others needed to show a little more complexity through storyboards - here are a few of those frames.

Style frame are still images that convey the overall look and feel of a project. Once we established the character-shape of Enzo and his side-kick, we needed to play around with some color studies to determine the overarching aesthetic of the whole game.
