It’s never been more important for companies to offer fast, safe, and seamless technology solutions. Real-time data platform Aerospike approached us to create a cinematic and visually dynamic film that would help highlight their impressive product suite. Tech films are usually very practical and only show actual use-case scenarios. For our film, we wanted to be different, more cinematic, and use abstraction to demonstrate a variety of complex topics covered in the film. Drawing inspiration from classic movies such as Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” and Darren Aronofsky’s “Requiem for a Dream,” we crafted otherworldly imagery that visually challenges the viewer to pay attention. Our “Inception” inspired upside-down worlds engage and draw the viewer in from the get-go and our “Requiem for a Dream” style quick-cut moments help us show the rapid thoughts that might be going through a customer’s mind as they are about to make a purchase. Real-world scenarios were used to demonstrate the sheer amount of information being processed at any point in time on the Aerospike network. From traffic to transportation and people we utilize these scenarios to help visualize data streams in a way that is easily understandable to the viewer. “The Right Now Economy” is a […]

Our long-time relationship with Coach brought us to this new film for their associated non-profit agency, the Coach Foundation to help highlight the significant progress they’ve made in unlocking the dreams of 5,000 young people through scholarships. Our film would also serve as inspiration to encourage Coach employees to participate in the mentorship program, helping under represented youth with opportunities not regularly available to them. We created a touching and authentic film that highlights the impact the Coach Foundation is having on young people around the world. Utilizing raw, self-filmed personal messages alongside a subtle, yet eye-catching visual aesthetic our film is a true celebration of the amazing work the Coach Foundation is doing for young people that deserve a chance.

Giving a masterclass on empathy, podcaster Dylan Marron in collaboration with Lexus and WSJ Custom Content sat in front of the RIOT cameras in NYC during the pandemic. Dylan’s “Conversations with People Who Hate Me” podcast and social experiment features his conversations with people who have written negative comments to him online in the past. The experience from the shows and the conversations that followed gave Dylan a bank of knowledge on vulnerability, difficult conversations, and empathy. We shot, edited, and produced this long-form instructional class that dives into deep philosophical layers surrounding negative human interactions and delivers a light and positive visual experience for the viewer. The story is broken down into chapters with a mixture of “to camera” discussion, motion graphics, quirky custom hand-drawn animations and a multitude of b-roll that was shot in different locations throughout. Our leadership session is one of the rare longer-form pieces of content in the RIOT catalog and we’re super proud of this creation. We’re excited about future collaborations where we get to test ourselves in the longer form visual content space further.
