Okta
0:00

We teamed up with our friends at Okta to bring an invisible workforce into the spotlight for our next chapter in their latest brand campaign. Live action, CG characters, and a healthy dose of workplace mischief set the stage for AI agents hard at work, but what exactly are they up to? That’s where Okta comes in. Across offices, warehouses, and server rooms, glowing agents zip through the workday hidden from view. Each film captures the moment Okta brings them into the light and puts our human heroes back in control. Vibrant production design and dynamic camera moves help make an invisible world feel real. Move fast, see what’s happening, and keep your AI in check.

"We gave a familiar AI sparkle instincts, attitude, and a job to do. The challenge was making every pose expressive while keeping that unmistakable shape."

Our cast had to be as interesting as the world around them. Distinctive faces, bold wardrobe, and performances that felt natural.

We took familiar workplaces somewhere unexpected. Bold sets and wildly imaginative props gave each world a personality all its own.
