We collaborated with Studio Mega on the creation of a product launch film for Miko Mini, a tiny kids robot, packed full of fun and adventure.

Little Robot,
Big Things

We created multiple full-concept environments for for our kids and Miko Mini to explore together. From bird watching in the jungle to stargazing in outer space, we used a combination of sets, props, wardrobe and visual effects to achieve a collection of magical locations that felt cohesive and on-brand.

 
 

Process

When creating our shot list and set builds, we leaned heavily into pre-visualization to inform the relative scale and framing of each shot.

Through detailed storyboards and sound mixing we created an animatic prior to filming, allowing us to pace out each shot and dial in the staging of the talent, props and product. These activities proved to be essential reference material while on-set and critical to our VFX workflow.
