[02] Services

What we make. All of it moves.

We don't do static identity, deck design, or 3D product viz. We make things move, in formats from :06 site loops to :60 broadcast.

Brand films

:60 to :180 anthem films. Concept, direction, animation, sound. Used at launch keynotes, conference walk-ins, and the top of a Series-B homepage.

Product motion

Feature reveals, in-product launch teasers, change-the-headline-and-watch-it-update kind of work. Tight integration with your product designers.

UI animation

Micro-interactions, transitions, page choreography. Delivered as Lottie + Rive + Framer specs your front-end can drop in tomorrow.

Spots

:15 / :30 spots for paid, social, and broadcast. We script, board, animate, score, and deliver across every aspect ratio you'll need.

Site animations

Scroll choreography, hero loops, section reveals. We've delivered work that ships in Framer, Webflow, and custom React. Performance budget included.

Direction for tech brands

When you want a director, not a vendor. Maya and Ines direct projects from scripts through final color. Especially for unusual formats.

[03] Process

Four steps. Two revision rounds.

Most engagements run six to eight weeks. We hold to two revision rounds — saves your team a month of opinion-as-feedback at the end.

step 01 · week 1

Brief + reference

A 90-minute working session. We bring 40 references, you bring three. We narrow the visual vocabulary before we open After Effects.

step 02 · week 2–3

Storyboard

Frame-by-frame storyboard, key still frames at the resolution they'll ship, and a scratch voiceover or sound bed for timing.

step 03 · week 4–6

Animation + revisions

Animatic, then full animation. Two revision rounds, scoped to types of change (timing, copy, asset) so the work converges.

step 04 · week 7

Final + delivery

Master at 4K + every cutdown and aspect ratio you need. Sound mastered to broadcast loudness. Source files for your future edits.

Vercel came to us six weeks before the v0 product launch. They didn't want a typical announcement video — they wanted a launch film. Something a developer would forward to a friend without context.

We built it around a single conceit: the film itself is generated, frame by frame, in front of the viewer. Type assembles. Code writes itself. A demo composes on a blank canvas, then collapses back to white. The form mirrored the product without ever showing a product screenshot.

It shipped Tuesday morning of launch week. By Friday it had cleared four million views across X, LinkedIn and YouTube; we stopped checking the analytics on Monday when the homepage attribution settled.

"Reverb made us a film that did what the product does. It's still on the homepage two months later. We've never put a video there before."
