Ads nobody asked for.

Why these exist

Made cheap. On purpose.

Every film here was made on the smallest budget that could carry the idea. One is two shots. One is almost entirely still images moved in the edit. Each case study says what its constraint was and what a commission would change.

Give it a real budget and it does not look like this.It looks like this, with the money in the right places.

Have something you want made?

Everything here was made speculatively, on a small budget, by one person. A commission gets a real budget, the same discipline, with great quality of videos. Tell me the product and how you want it to feel.
