“Built for What Matters”

We were approached by our friends at Azimuth-Corp to help celebrate the incredible milestone of 20 years in business as a defense contractor. Creating a video that commemorates 20 years of history that can keep an audiences attention poses all kinds of challenges.

The first test was writing a script that was thematic and honest to 20 years of facts; something that could inspire us as an audience. We knew we had passed when our client cried and expressed that we captivated their heart entirely through the words.

We moved onto the visuals. They were originally created as a symbolic story told through abstract visuals of a satellite on a journey to Mars. But by the end of its journey, the satellite proved to be visually too narrowly focussed.

So we pivoted with visuals that better interpreted Azimuth’s range of services… From customer service to quantum computing. Something as prestigious as celebrating 20 years in business deserved a bespoke score, so for the cherry on top, we created an original score for the picture.

As our studio’s first official fully-CGI piece, this project bursts with energy and we are excited to be able to share it. Congratulations to our friends at Azimuth. Here’s to the next 20 years!

‘One in Front of the Other’ is a brand film created for City Gospel Mission’s Recovery Program - a program which helps men and women struggling with substance abuse renew their hope and rebuild their lives. Specifically, this brand film is to celebrate those who graduated from the program this year, taking that next step on their journey of recovery.

When CJT was asked what he had in mind for this year’s film, one image he couldn’t shake from his mind was that of “the graduates walking down a city street, during sunrise, putting one foot in front of the other - walking shoulder to shoulder into a bright new world with endless, glorious possibilities.” He saw it not only as a way to reintroduce the graduates back into a world that may have turned a blind eye to them, but also as a way to let the audience “walk, if not a mile, a few steps in the shoes of those we might not fully understand.”

This brand film would not have been possible without the coordination and cooperation of the city of Lebanon, OH, the businesses, and the City Manager’s Office. Words cannot express how much their generosity and kindness means to us.
