Video Production and Animation 

From concept to completion, Keen Studio will help you dream up an immersive way to tell your story or introduce your brand or product. 

Engaging motion production always starts with a great concept. We want the idea to speak for itself—a powerful visual representation of your brand story.

There are no prepackaged ideas at Keen—every production is custom crafted to the brand it represents. Once the concept is fleshed out, the script is written to deliver a clear, impactful message that cohesively flows with the visual style. The script will be meticulously fused into the storyboard, which will layout the production in representative cells.

Here is where we implement the results of our exploration into a custom motion production. Whether kicking off a 50-person film set or crafting the first (of hundreds) of individual visual assets for an animation, this is where the rubber meets the road.

After filming and animating, it is time to refine it down to a finished product. This is the make or break of the production—a proper edit will help the message resonate with the intended audience and make the production flow smoothly. Graphics, visual movement and a strong call-to-action (CTA) are all used to help conclude the story.

Motion has become one of our favorite ways to tell the brand story. Custom animation, video production, and polished musical compositions come together to truly inspire, motivate and connect.

Payload is an industry leading headless CMS that we have had the pleasure of working with since its conception.  The Payload team  came to us for  a number of promotional videos as well as animation for their website.

Payload is an open-source, headless CMS built natively on Next.js. It marks the next-generation in content management and application development platforms. The admin panel is intuitive, simple and easy to use, while the backend is clean, fast and secure. Keen Studio has been working in Payload since its beta version and is now building nearly 50% of our development projects in Payload 3.0.

The global standard in small to medium-sized website development. Keen Studio specializes in custom WordPress (not-theme based) and headless builds. Allowing us freedom to design experiences without being bound by the limitations of WordPress. 

We also work with other CMS solutions including Kraft, Contentful, Sappi, Squarespace and many others.

Web Development

We use a tried and true method to express your vision in a web environment. Broken out into phases, this structure will ensure the project stays on time and on budget. 

Defining requirements as clearly as possible upfront saves time later when you’re in the thick of design and development. Here we will determine what CMS to use and if current hosting is appropriate. We’ll also discuss things like integration of an ecommerce platform to enable online purchasing or developing a user account backend or blog component.

Here, we’ll aim to take what we’ve learned in the Requirements sprint and put it into tangible assets. We’ll build a comprehensive sitemap and wireframe out the structure and layout of the site. Things like headers and navigation are defined and placed by the content within them - not by what type styles and colors they look best in.

In the design phase, we’ll craft a contemporary visual style that enhances the readability and hierarchy of the structure defined in the wireframes. Elements ranging from page headers to primary and secondary button styles will all be defined. Site comps will be produced for each necessary page template at multiple screen sizes, which will setup for the following Development sprint.

Our development approach is a bit more holistic than what might be found elsewhere. We believe in minimizing unnecessary plugins and libraries to keep page load time and security vulnerabilities to an absolute minimum. 

With over 20 years of creating intuitive and immersive web experiences, we are able to help architect, design, and develop nearly any digital project that might come our way.
