La Piazza Pilsner
Built from one product photo. Beach walks, forest rides, a firelit toast at dusk. A full lifestyle campaign for a real Vancouver brewery, with no location scout and no crew.
Motion Design Studio · Surrey & Vancouver, BC
Most creators make videos. We build creative systems.
One brief becomes one visual world, becomes a campaign's worth of content. Short-form ads, UGC, product film... engineered for the scroll, built in a single production pass.

02 · Selected work
Three briefs. Three full campaigns.
Spec commercials, built to show exactly what a product looks like when someone takes it seriously. Press play.
Brow Stamp Kit
A bold-claim UGC ad, character-driven start to finish. Product-in-hand, straight to camera, ending on a clean ecommerce shot. Native to the feed rather than produced for it.
Spirits · Product Film
The Apology
A spec concept built on costly-signalling psychology: a wax seal, a pour, a printed sentence. Macro cinematography designed to belong on a top shelf rather than a shelf-talker.
Spec work produced independently to demonstrate approach, not commissioned by the brands shown.

Four things we make
Each one starts from the same place: a brief, a product, and a decision about what world it lives in.
Short-Form Video Ads
Hook-first vertical ads for paid social and organic feeds. Built to survive the first second, then earn the next five.
- 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 cuts
- Multiple hook variants for testing
- Captions and on-screen text included
UGC & Creator-Style Ads
Product-in-hand, straight to camera, ending on a clean ecommerce shot. Designed to feel native to the feed, not produced for it.
- Character-driven, bold-claim structure
- No creator sourcing, no shipping samples
- A new variant in hours, not weeks
Product & Brand Films
Macro cinematography and built visual worlds for brands that need to look expensive before they are.
- 16:9 and vertical masters
- Sound design and grade included
- Stills pulled from the same world
Release & Launch Packs
One brief, one production pass, a fortnight of content. Built originally for music releases; it works for any launch with a date on it.
- Eleven assets across formats
- Fourteen-day posting timeline
- Captions and hooks written to match
How projects work
- The brief
- A paragraph on what the product is and who it's for. If you don't have one, a fifteen-minute call produces it.
- Starting point
- Existing product photography, a logo and a colour palette. No shoot required.
- Turnaround
- Days rather than weeks. The whole asset set comes out of a single production pass.
- Pricing
- Fixed price quoted per brief, agreed before anything starts. No hourly, no retainer.
- How it's made
- AI-native production. Generative video and motion tools, directed and finished by a person. Disclosed to every client.
