Check out Roof's latest montage packed full of vivid imagery, incredible characters and richly detailed environments.  This is truly a spectacular way to kick off 2023

Roof's Lucas Camargo (Untitled Army) created six spots for Conoco, through Carmichael Lynch Minneapolis, using richly textured cg environments and whimsical characters.  The spots follow The Goers on personal journeys illustrating their need to being going and going. 

Roof ended the year by creating this eye-catching passion piece from director and co-founder Vinicius Costa. Picturing My Mind is a whimsical animated journey through the doors of past memories. A visual open that explores the profound experiences that shape us all. "In contrast to the rich details in the background, I wanted our character to stand out as simple. And body language is important to this film, as I animated her with big motion - opposite to the rigid stiffness of the structures near by. This conceptual juxtaposition allows the character to appear relatively small in frame while capturing your attention." - Vini 

CGI extraordinaire Eva Cremer was approached by FILA Kids and V Collective to create a vibrant ad for their ‘Hopping Artist’ campaign across Asia. The concept was inspired by ‘acrylic paint pouring art’, with different colours flowing freely throughout the animation, bringing unlimited creative possibilities. 

Yelp’s first campaign since 2016 celebrates restaurants’ ability to ‘Turn the Tables’ in this fun 60 second film. It features three restaurateurs who managed to turn the unpleasantness of the pandemic into positive, and sometimes selfless, situations - by giving food out to local people and offering opportunities to chefs who were struggling to get by. Seed jumped in once they had chosen to lead with 3 of the most inspiring stories, featuring Ketsuda, Glen and Ann. Besides the personalities of these people, we also had rich visual pickings from each of their restaurants. They created a miniature style environment, with larger than life characters, and a device based on the ‘Turn the Tables’ theme where empty cafes turned into thriving spaces. A big shout out to the team at Yelp for giving Seed the opportunity to visually develop this from scratch. It's a treat to have such an enthusiastic client willing to creatively explore.

BluBlu created this stunning explainer to demonstrate Natural Atlas' new updated App that enhances your hiking and exploration experiences. With interactive maps, in-depth information and real time updates.  

The collaborative bunch at Girl&Bear (VCCP's production arm) approached Seed to develop, design and direct "a few" commercials for Sage, the accounting, financial, HR and payroll tech firm.  A few turned out to be a 15 spot campaign that needed to be on air around the world in 2 1/2 months.   Seed stepped up and shot live action and integrated lovely animation for this insightful, first-person campaign. 

When it comes to finding financial security and unlocking wealth potential, follow the team at Charles Schwab and let them light the way. For this spot, Art&Graft created this amalgamation of animation techniques and sweeping waves of characteristic Schwab brand blue. They crafted a tight-knit narrative where the 3D world around the 2D characters is transformed and, through a combination of magical motion and camera movement, the viewer is taken down the road to financial enlightenment. 

To mark World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st, intellectual disability charity L’Arche debuted a teaser for a new short film, entitled ‘Freebird’. Partnering with Canadian musician Jordan Hart and award-winning animation studio Tonic DNA and their director Joe Bluhm,  the charity produced a beautiful film that challenged the misconceptions surrounding Down Syndrome. The plot follows the coming-of-age story of a boy with Down syndrome who learns to navigate the world with a loving mother, an absent father, a classroom bully, and a life-long crush. Now, as the full four-minute film launches, we witness 45 years of life flash by in just a few short minutes. Not that it moves too fast to leave an impact - quite the opposite, as a combination of stunning animation and soulful storytelling communicates the quintessentially human story at the heart of this campaign.

We connect companies, advertising agencies, studios and developers with a curated selection of animation artist  from around the globe, assisting in comprehensive searches and production services ranging from artist insertion, to live action and full scale film & animation production. 

Coming off a long stint, shooting episodes for The Kids Are alright and Breaking Up Together, Jay Karas is available for commercial work.   It has been a busy Summer for Jay who directed the NBC special  "Feeding America Comedy Festival" which aired on May 10 2020.  The special raised enough money to provide 16 million meals to people in need across the country.  All segments were shot with an incredibly minimal crew, under strict Cover-19 safety protocols, to keep the talent and crew safe.  Produced by Funny or Die, DP Karsten and directed by Jay Karas.
