Augmented Reality
Shep has a deep expertise in VFX and cutting-edge tech. We have a history in helping companies envision the future to help engineering teams reach ambitious goals - but NDAs keep those projects locked away.
However, the skills built making customer stories, narrative-driven commercials and feature films all help with the creation of these “vision videos.”

PROSPECT
PROSPECT stars Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian), Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets), and Jay Duplass (Transparent). It premiered at SXSW where it won the Visions Competition and has since streamed on Netflix, Hulu, and Peacock.
Our team prides themselves on how seamlessly the VFX blends in - over half the film included VFX shots.
Sony TASTE
Sony tasked us with showcasing the camera on their new flagship smartphone. We made a sprawling short film about sci-fi cookery that took us from the heights of the Olympic Mountains to the izakaya underbelly of Tokyo.
A key background element of the story was an AR interface we developed internally that the chef used to create her new recipes.
Natuzzi x HoloLens
Natuzzi is an Italian luxury furniture brand that partnered with Microsoft to innovate the customer showroom experience with augmented reality. Our job was to showcase this developing HoloLens application on-site at their factory headquarters in Puglia, Italy.
In partnership with Natuzzi and Microsoft's HoloLens team, we created VFX assets to accurately depict the future usage of this tech and composited them into carefully-coordinated footage captured in Italy.
PORSCHE x HOLOLENS
Porsche Cars North America is using augmented reality via HoloLens to give their technicians x-ray vision into their cars. Telling this story meant integrating VFX into an on-the-fly documentary shoot to give a view into how Microsoft's tech worked in real time.
Effectively showcasing AR required a hybrid approach - capturing POV through the HoloLens itself, then compositing the same 3D models into the wide shots.
HoloLens x Microsoft Cloud
Microsoft HoloLens is used to remotely channel real-time expertise through the eyes of workers across a vast network of data centers.
We worked with a multiple teams to get access to highly-secure locations and accurately recreate the real-life experience of the tech with a variety of VFX methods.
NDA Vision Videos
We can’t share too much - but we have created vision videos for a few companies to help align engineering, product and leadership teams on a unified vision.
These videos imagined the future state of tech across a variety of applications, involving hardware and AR interactions through voice and display
