Our team is always bursting with creativity. Check out this animation by one of our animators! 🎈🤯

When it comes to storytelling, we don’t let logistics get in the way. Even though our two-ton grip truck can’t fit in the plane’s overhead bin for this week’s trip to New York, we found a solution. Introducing the mini sprinter truck! Don’t let it’s pint-sized appearance deceive you - it’s still the ultimate storytelling machine. Stay tuned for more wild and adventurous from Studio Iowa.

HAL who? This 3D animation, masterfully created by one of Studio Iowa’s animators, Brandon Cory, is giving us major AI takeover vibes. But don’t worry - we’re still in control (for now 😉)

We are so grateful and humbled that Studio Iowa won not one, but TWO ADDY awards at this year's AAF of Des Moines event! Our team knocked it out of the park with "Run, Hide, or Fight" (a training vid we made for Fareway Stores and Drake University) and "Tell Stories Better" (our collab with Court Avenue Restaurant & Brewing Company), scoring a gold and a silver ADDY respectively.

We're stoked to see our team's hard work pay off and to be recognized for our creativity and passion. Big shoutout to the AAF of Des Moines Awards and all the other winners out there. 🎉👏

As 2021 is wrapping up, the Studio Iowa team is so thankful for all of our incredible clients that allow us to help tell their stories. This year, our team grew to 13 creative members. We travelled all across the U.S. to complete more projects and videos than any other year. We completed our third season producing the Woodsmith Shop broadcast series and just signed on for our fourth season starting this January! We are excited to see what else 2022 brings.

In December, we had a lot of fun putting together our 12 Days of Christmas Search and Find Holiday Card. Check out the interactive photo on our website at studioiowa.com/happyholidays
