By far, one of our favorite projects of 2025!
Meet The Artist— now on The Network. 🎨💥

A handcrafted chaos machine from Almost Gold— bumping, swinging, painting, exploding, and quietly judging its way through one long chain of delightful disaster. Much like the actors in The Artist, it’s dramatic, unpredictable, and probably needs therapy.

Huge thanks to Aram Rappaport and his team at The Boathouse for bringing us on to build this tiny world of elegant chaos. What a ride!

It was all gas, no breaks on this NASCAR production! We were thrilled when Two x Four asked us to help them promote the 2025 Chicago Street Race. We collaborated with the incredible team at Collective Media Productions, led by Derek Goldsmith, for the live action shoot at Kinowerks. From there, it was full speed ahead into VFX, Editorial and Sound Design. We had a lot of fun bringing the speed and spirit of NASCAR to life while also showcasing the incredible city of Chicago. Lights, camera, horsepower!

We were beyond stoked when Executive Producers Seth Savoy, Mike Ware and Director Alex Donnelly threw us the ball to help out with the graphics and title sequence for their latest documentary series, United States of Rugby. So, we laced up our cleats, popped in our mouth guards, and got to work. In partnership with Goldfinch Productions and our rockstar team, we crafted a graphics package and an epic main title sequence that'll leave you itching to learn everything there is to know about the glorious sport of Rugby. Let’s just say—we definitely got schooled along the way! Episodes now airing on ROKU.

Last year we did several spots for Twitter Spaces, their answer to audio based chat rooms. Not sure what came of any of it through all the turmoil 🤫 but excited to see where it takes the conversation!
