Chevron
'2026 Cars Campaign'
Talking cars with big personalities, friendly drivers, and a world that keeps expanding.
Our ongoing work with Chevron continues to build out a playful CG universe, this time with a futuristic twist. A trip to a high-tech Car-Diologist lab, glowing portals, and a visit from your future self reminding you you’re on the right track.
As the family grows, so does the craft. Dialing in performance, refining every detail, and building rich, vibrant worlds that bring each character moment to life.
Cars
"Expression driven by motion. Every tilt, shift, and bounce becomes part of the performance. The mechanics of a car turned into a language of emotion and reaction."
Characters
"Characters grounded in reality, shaped with just enough exaggeration to feel distinct and memorable. Personality first. Human at the core, with styling that adds edge, specificity, and intrigue."
Animation
Environment
"Rich, dimensional lighting shaped by bold color contrast and striking times of day. A push and pull between cool and warm, with slick surfaces catching every bit of light."
