How-To Starring You
One question we get quite often is “how do you make a Starring You video?”. It’s a simply process, but we found it kind of hard to sum up without visual accompaniment. While you can find instructions while making a video and additional information in our FAQ, we’ve decided to go another step [...]

The Monster Mash Animatic
Take a look at the animatic from our Monster Mash video and you’ll see the skeleton behind the creation of a Starring You.  Location concepts and character angles are decided right away and usually make it to the final cut, the dancing however is quite often left to interpretation.  While the story remains the same, [...]

Sammie’s Great Escape
Sammie, the office pug, is known for many things around the office… there’s his friendly nature, his wheezing excited grunts and of course his fondness for knocking over trashcans to feast on whatever he finds. It’s the last one that usually means we have to keep him penned into a safe zone for [...]
