If it smells like foam, feels like foam, but looks like wood… it's wood. Or, at least it is for the camera. The Coronation team breaks down how they built a 20-ft high "wooden" wall using foam and a little paint for a filmed event.

How do you rally a dozen artists to produce one unified style? And once you have that art, who decides how to animate it? Our co-founder and ECD, Gary Gasse, leads a discussion about our decisions for "The Bible in 10 Minutes."

We dive into the complexities of creating an animated short and the challenges faced in perfecting the animation pipeline on the fly.

We worked with to make "The Bible in a Year" a little shorter to… "The Bible in 10 Minutes." This animated video followed in the footsteps of The Bible in a Year's success at the top of the Apple charts with a breakneck pace of over 1 million views in two days on YouTube.

We talk about our collaboration with the Ascension team, and offer some behind the scenes on how we broke it all down.

It's easy to think about the "big video," but what about the other opportunities that come with it? A little extra planning can yield dozens of supporting videos from material that would otherwise be left on the cutting room floor. These can be used to support brand awareness, fundraising efforts, rallying a team, and more—and sometimes the small segments do it best.

Coronation recently developed a 40-video campaign for Silvercrest Asset Management group from a shoot that was originally designed to support just four videos.

Who's part of a pit crew? Tire changers, jack operators, fuel person... camera operator? Speed was of the essence (in more than one way) during production for this minidocumentary, and we leaned into the pit crew mentality for our work with the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing.

One of our highlights from last year was working with Ascension to create Envision, a Theology of the Body program for middle schoolers. Along the way, we had the honor of working with Chika Anyanwu, Tanner Kalina, Sister Mary Grace Langrell, Mari Pablo, Jason Evert, Colin and Aimee MacIver, and Butler.

This 8-lesson course is jam-packed with 160 minutes of video segments—a combination of both live action and animated scenes. This supercut pulls together some of our favorite moments in just over 1 minute.
