Creative direction and interaction are considered together, so the effect gives people a recognizable idea without prescribing every part of the content they make.

Start with what someone might record, choose or react to. Connect that behavior to the brand rather than relying on decoration.

Test the agreed flow and polish the details. Confirm current platform requirements and publishing responsibilities as part of the project scope.
Sometimes, but the creative and interaction should be reconsidered for the intended platform. An existing idea is a useful starting point, not a guarantee of a direct technical conversion.
No. An effect can provide a strong creative prompt, but reach depends on distribution, audience response and the wider campaign. We do not promise views, participation levels or virality.
Yes. Bring the concept, campaign world and brand guidance. We can explore how the idea becomes an effect, with scope, responsibilities and approval stages agreed before production.
We agree the objective and interaction, review a visual direction, build a working version and refine it against the agreed scope. Review points and handover responsibilities are set before development.
We agree the publishing account and responsibilities at the start. Platform review is separate from the creative build, so approval, distribution and exact review timing are not guaranteed by the studio.
Usually the campaign brief, brand guidelines, approved logos, product imagery and any required copy. We identify gaps early and agree which assets you provide and which need to be created.
Revision rounds, deliverables, source-file handover and usage rights belong in the project scope. We confirm those details before work starts rather than assume the same arrangement fits every project.
The launch plan should identify who publishes, distributes and monitors the experience. We can discuss appropriate handover and measurement options for the platform; reach and campaign outcomes are not promised.
Tell us what you have in mind. We’ll start with the idea.
