    It's hard to believe
    something you can't see.

    We create films of things
    that don't exist yet, for
    leaders building the future.

    Customer stories

    "Before Akimbo, I wasn't able to articulate the vision in a way that was meaningful. Akimbo made it tangible. If a picture is worth a thousand words, that video is worth a thousand pictures."

    Akimbo is 4x faster

    Until now you had two options. Delay until there was something a crew could film, or settle for static renders. One cost you time, the other cost you customers.

    Traditional live video production
    CGI renders and CAD fly-throughs
    Live productionCGI / CAD
    render
    Months

    Crew, gear, weather, permits, CGI set-up. All delay your launch.

    Waste

    Day rates, transport, hires, fees. Spent on logistics, not output.

    Limited

    Cameras need real things. CGI and CAD require fixed briefs.

    Discovery call

    Every project starts with a free discovery call. We meet each other, and see if we're a good fit for your goals. After the call, we plan the project and send a quote within 48 hours. Once agreed, we begin.

    Pre-production

    We gather your brand assets first. The more we receive, the better the output. We meet again to talk strategy and shape the story. Then we send you a storyboard for feedback before anything is filmed.

    Production

    Filming begins. We build the characters, scenes, props, sequences, music and dialogue. Every shot is directed and finished by hand. Once it meets our standards, we send you a first cut for review.

    Post-production

    We take your feedback and cut the final film. Then we produce the supporting assets planned for your project, like social re-cuts and stills. It becomes a complete package, ready for you to launch.

    What we deliver

    We work virtually, with companies based anywhere. Each project gets a custom AI brand film package fit to its needs, from combinations of these main elements.
