Each year the YWCA Columbus honors outstanding women in the community for their social justice achievements. Spacejunk partnered with the YWCA to bring its mission statement to life: eliminate racism and empower women. We wanted to feature real women with stories about how the YWCA has affected their lives. The result was a truly inspiring piece that shows how resilient women can be when faced with adversity.

Nationwide
Nationwide wanted us to get inside the head of financial professionals - to articulate the challenges they go through when working with today's families. In order to promote the insurance and financial service carrier’s suite of tools and services they provide them, we needed to show that we understood their needs. This is the story we crafted.

On Our Sleeves
Nationwide Children's Hospital
This was a campaign we were very proud to be a part of. As many of us are parents ourselves, children's mental health was something we take very seriously. We had a wonderful experience working with the team at Nationwide Children's Hospital on this and we were happy to see this series of spots win a number of awards as well.

Future Laura
Lower.com
What if your future self had a conversation with your current self? That was the premise behind this series of pre-roll ads we made for Lower.com. Each spot covers a different aspect of how Lower.com can help its users become homeowners. Soon after we made these they bought the naming rights to a $300 million dollar soccer stadium. We're not saying that was because of us but...you know...

Olive
This one was a logistical challenge but we’re so pleased with the results. A cinematic road trip with the Olive Go1 bus meant carefully planning the most scenic routes for both our on-the-ground camera crew and drone team. The final piece is both powerful and visually arresting.

The Shipyard
We loved creating every bite of this fun promo piece for Sweet Loren's. Our friends at The Shipyard tasked us with executing their vibrant, spunky, and colorful creative concept and we had a great time collaborating with their creative team. We utilized Phantom's high-speed cameras for the food footage while working with talent from all over the Midwest region for our cookie lovers.

Vascular TV :15s
Hart / ProMedica
Fusing VFX with visually striking metaphors, this project for Hart and ProMedica really allowed us to dive in deep on some memorable creative content. Whether it was creating a leg that looked like a lit cigarette or a belly made out of a balloon being pinched with needles, this job engaged all of our senses and pushed our designers and animators to do some truly great work.

We Know You By Heart
Brand Innovation Group / Goshen Heart and Vascular Center
BIG was looking for a stop-motion approach to their tv concept for Goshen Heart and Vascular Center, and they needed the visuals to ladder up to their print and out of home campaign as well. Leveraging paper cutouts and origami, we decided to create everything in 3D instead of in-camera which gave us a lot more control over the final details. We explored a number of different paper textures and designs and even mimicked the frame rates and shutter speeds of typical stop motion to sell the final look.

Storytellers Series
Wolf's Ridge Brewing
Our friends and neighbors at Wolf's Ridge Brewing were looking for an affordable and unique way to tell some of the stories behind their most popular beers and menu-items. We developed this fun, quirky, cutout approach that is a perfect vehicle for their creative cuisine and delicious libations.

We were delighted to design the crazy characters and fun-filled environments for this broadcast spot for the Louisiana Children's Museum with our friends at Peter Mayer. We had a blast illustrating these characters and animating their adventures. This spot is fun to watch again and again as it's loaded with fun little details. The catchy song keeps the whole thing rolling along as well.

Where the Bold Begin
The Modern College of Design
We love meeting young emerging artists, animators, designers, and storytellers, so it was a real joy to produce this video for The Modern. We let the student's work shine in this piece while also emphasizing all the ways the Modern readies their students for professional success. We wanted to infuse the edit with the same vibrancy and passion that we felt from the students at the Modern and felt like this piece accomplished that in spades.

Argo
Argo is a revolutionary new web-based service for the immigration space that uses video conferencing to connect former US consular officers with potential Visa applicants for consulting sessions. Spacejunk was tasked with creating a piece that not only explained the functionality of the platform, but also set the tone for this exciting new brand. Our approach mixed unscripted and scripted content from two company founders with dynamic 3D and 2D animation that brought the Argo website to life. The result is one of our favorite “app videos” to date that’s already proving to be a valuable sales tool for Argo with partners around the world.We could see using a similar approach for the Olive Omega video. Namely, mixing tech inspired 2D graphics with high quality live-action footage of Omega team members interacting with the AI.

Fitch
It’s always a bonus for us to partner with brands we love. And at Spacejunk, we love fine whiskey! That’s why we were pumped to help the good people at Fitch spread the word about Jack Daniel’s Gold No. 27. The video was made for a point of sale display at the Hong Kong International Airport, and its marriage of slick table-top product shots coupled with eye–popping graphics, makes this a perennial favorite amongst the studio’s artists. Though the piece plays without sound, we added a little Massive Attack here for your enjoyment.

There are two things everybody loves: birthday cake and the Running Man dance move. In this fun animated e-card we made for American Greetings, we got to combine them! Our 3D animation team had a blast making this dance party come to life. New techniques were developed, the song "Happy" played on repeat in the studio, and highly embarrassing reference videos were recorded via webcam. We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.

We get asked to create brand videos all the time, but it’s not every day that we get asked to create one for our friends and neighbors. When Wolf’s Ridge Brewing moved in next door to Spacejunk, we immediately felt like we had hit the neighborhood lotto. Former abandoned warehouse turns into a craft brewery with world-class cuisine? Jackpot! We quickly became friends and collaborators with all of them and we felt tremendous responsibility to provide them with a video that was worthy of their talent and hard work.
