Serious subjects.
Playful craft.
Animated explainer videos for energy, mining and construction. Concrete chemistry, grid software, heat pumps, oil recycling — we've explained them all. Usually with at least one animal involved.

Camus Energy — why new solar waits in line
A grid operator's world in three visual styles: the control room when something goes wrong, isometric neighborhoods that show the grid at street level, and the interconnection queue that keeps new solar waiting. One film, each scene drawn for the question it answers.

Foundry Heat Pumps — HVAC, but make it lovable
Photo textures, painted strokes and one very skeptical cat: a mixed-media collage that makes heat pumps feel like a conversation, not a manual. Every scene teaches something real.

Xypex — when concrete lasts longer, everything gets greener
Concrete waterproofing is not an obvious sustainability story, so we made it one. This construction explainer video shows how Xypex’s crystalline technology helps buildings last longer, cut maintenance, earn LEED credits and carry a 60% lower carbon footprint than membrane systems, with proof from the Panama Canal to a water treatment plant.
