Deep Sky was asked to merge the boundaries of reality & imagination for Mindful, where real-time virtual factories come to life behind presenters, seamlessly blending the tangible with the digital.
We discover the challenges, the innovation, and the artistry that transformed a vision into a mesmerizing 3D spectacle on a grand LED canvas using Unreal Engine and virtual production, answering Mindful’s needs.
Spring time is here! Deep Sky’s latest installment of “It’s The Little Things Part 2: Spring”, features our favorite frog friend and his trusty caterpillar, as they tidy up their greenhouse in preparation for spring after their cozy winter.
As longtime partners of Daimler Truck North America, we were excited when they approached us to produce a video showing how they are leading sustainable transportation for all who keep the world moving. They are moving at the speed of right.
Utilizing a mixture of previously-produced footage we captured, stock, and CGI, our team edited this incredibly moving brand anthem.
We teamed up with the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks to create an engaging in-game animation to play at Lumen Field during the 2022 season. Inspired by the game Plinko, this animated scoreboard video engaged fans of all ages, strengthened their home field advantage, and promoted the strong culture around ‘The 12s’, all with a uniqely Seahawks, Seattle, and PNW-themed experience. We created 3 possible winners (The 12s, Blitz, and Boom) to keep fans on their feet each time.
To kick off production, we determined which Seattle landmarks the team wanted to focus on, then we got to work on developing concept art. Since the video is one long downward camera pan, each scene needed to flow seamlessly to the next.
Our background artist created a beautiful painterly mural as a backdrop. Our 3D team used the concept art as a basis to model environments and props on which the ball would bounce, and developed a bouncing simulation as well. Our 2D animation team breathed some fresh PNW life into the backgrounds with simple animations and effects too.
We partnered with the revolutionary fusion energy company SHINE Technologies to create a scrollable website experience and brand anthem video. They are deploying and scaling fusion technology now, in the hope that one day will lead to powering the world. Through their four phases of implementation, including inspecting industrial components, producing medical isotopes, recycling nuclear waste, and generating fusion energy, they aspire to create an on-demand, carbon-free energy future.
We worked with their team to create a script outline and brand message for the technical product visualization video. Through beautiful 3D animation, we created both epic photo-real environments as well as particle simulation scenes. Our 3D modeling team created 3D renders of their fusion reactors and facilities. In the end, the video launched on their site as a scrollable and interactive experience complete with a full brand relaunch.
When you’re scrolling through TikTok and Instagram, it’s hard to miss our friends Janky, Guggimon, and Dayzee of SUPERPLASTIC showing up across limited edition vinyl drops, NFTs, video games & more. We had the pleasure of working with SUPERPLASTIC to produce animated content for their virtual influencer’s social media accounts.
Early on, we adapted SUPERPLASTIC’s pipeline and improved upon our own specifically for these characters to produce a wide range of content needed each week. Working with the SUPERPLASTIC team requires building and sharing environments, props, custom characters, rigging, animation, effects, and more. Our team may focus on lighting, effects, rendering, and compositing for some content, while other content requires taking SUPERPLASTIC’s concepts and seeing them through to final delivery. While some character work is keyframe animation, both teams regularly utilize Xsens and Faceware motion capture systems. All to create a cohesive, chaos-infused universe in which these virtual influencers live.
We partnered again with the legendary Portland-based motorcycle apparel company ICON Motosports to create this haunting social media animation promoting the release of their Airflite 4Horsemen helmet. Inspired by the helmet’s artwork and animated in the style of the 1970s Lord of the Rings film, this short brings Conquest, War, Famine, and Death into terrifying reality.
Deep Sky was privileged to have recently collaborated with IntraOp on a project that left us in awe of their latest medical device, the IntraOp Mobetron. Our team had the opportunity to create stunning 3D models and renders that showcase the remarkable technological advancements of this groundbreaking device. We are thrilled to share our insights on how the IntraOp Mobetron is revolutionizing cancer treatment, earning the trust of leading cancer physicians worldwide.

Powin, a global leader in the design and manufacture of safe and scalable battery energy storage solutions, announced its new Centipede battery energy storage platform. Centipede is the company’s first fully modular design, complete with pre-integrated segments containing batteries, thermal management equipment, and essential safety systems.
We developed a beautiful custom lighting setup to show the product in a natural-looking 3D environment. Using 3D animation, we explored all the parts, functions, and capabilities of the system, including its associated UI.
