Not your average driveway. Every detail dialed, every shadow shaped, every rig locked in with intention. For us, it’s never *just* a shot. It’s storytelling, frame by frame.

ProjectWorks: a deeper dive

During the development phase of ProjectWorks, we prioritized shorter deliverables along with the full video to fuel our client's campaign. We crafted engaging 15 and 7-second social pieces + a 30-second and 15-second trailer. Each was optimized in various aspect ratios, ensuring they shine on every platform!

We're so excited to share the trailer for a project we collaborated on with to introduce their new product, ProjectWorks!

AWI had a novel idea to communicate the power of their new pre-construction design services to architects.

AWI dubbed the video "infotainment". As a production company experienced in creating original content and always looking to leverage originals power for advertising, we called it brilliant.

MAKE/ won the job by keeping to AWI’s production parameters, but much to our delight, Armstrong asked how we might take it up another level. The result was a Minority Report approach. Graphics projected in mid-air. In an environment that did not exist. Read — a ton of CGI including 2D, 3D, and compositing. This project was a challenge, but our killer team, including internal design and tech talent from AWI, embraced and delivered.
