Scripting

Scripting

We write with learners in mind. Our scripts combine technical accuracy with narrative flow, using plain language, smart structure, and just the right tone to keep audiences informed and interested. From tutorials to explainers, we help your ideas speak fluently.

Animation

Animation

We turn abstract concepts into motion-driven clarity. Our animation style flexes from playful to polished, using illustration, motion graphics, and visual metaphors to make learning feel intuitive and fun—even when the topic’s complex.

Video Design System

We create reusable, scalable design systems for video—style guides, templates, and motion rules that keep your content consistent across series, teams, or platforms.

Wherever you are, we bring the set to you. Our remote workflows let us capture great footage, direct talent, and manage shoots from anywhere—without compromising on quality or collaboration.

Custom Production Workflows

No two teams are the same—so we build processes that work the way you do. From intake to delivery, we design flexible, efficient workflows that fit your tools, pace, and people.

Case Studies

Twilio Liftoff

We partnered with Twilio to produce Twilio Liftoff, a series of four engaging video learning programs designed to help developers get up and running with Twilio’s APIs. Each episode combines clear instruction, practical demos, and high-quality visuals to guide users through real-world use cases—from sending their first text message to integrating voice and authentication features.

The series is crafted to be approachable for beginners while still offering valuable insights for more experienced developers, helping Twilio scale developer education through cinematic, story-driven content.

MATHstream

The world's best super-teachers (from TikTok, YouTube and X) + 25 years of research = MATHstream, the game-based tool that helps students learn math the best way possible.

We partnered with Carnegie Learning, an educational publisher based in Pittsburgh, to develop MATHstream, an interactive math educational video curriculum, where we collaborate with real math teachers and influencers to create modern, engaging math content.

Black Arrow

Cloudflare

We created an educational video for Cloudflare that uses LEGO bricks as playful metaphors to explain the building blocks of their developer platform. From Durable Objects and Queues to Workers AI, D1, and R2, each concept is brought to life through colorful, hands-on visuals that simplify complex infrastructure into something tangible and fun.

The result is an approachable and memorable guide that helps developers understand how Cloudflare’s tools fit together—and how to start building with them.

Black Arrow

Circle

We collaborate with Circle to create a variety of developer-focused content that makes it easy to understand and build with their web3 tools. From tutorials on Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) and USDC to deep dives into Ramp Flow and other products, our videos blend clarity, creativity, and real-world demos to help developers bridge the gap between web2 and web3.

Whether it's onboarding new users or enabling advanced integrations, we craft content that empowers devs to ship faster with Circle’s ecosystem.

“Michael brought not only technical and aesthetic expertise to our video project, but also thoughtfully coached our team through what could have been an anxiety-inducing experience of sharing our authentic selves on camera. With Michael's guidance, we carefully curated our message and produced a gorgeous, concise, effective video that we are proud to share widely.”
