Oh so Provocative

Three Ways to Move People to Action

MaxMedia.com Site Image

In the Experience Economy,  memory is the product.  

Any moving experience—one that stays with you, shifting the way
you think or feel—is propelled by great content.
 

But powerful images and stories are no commodity. They must be carefully
conceived, purposefully built, and stress-tested as they move from script to screen.

Our Process:

Last year, we delivered over 4,500 pieces of unique content
incorporating live action, motion graphics, and 3D
animation—all done in house, delivered on time, and
produced on budget. We offer the disciplines of both a digital
agency and a production company under one roof, making us
more creative, more responsive, and more efficient.

Our content studio includes storyboard artists, writers,
designers, animators, editors, and technical advisors.

“The way to make a true emotional  connection with the viewer is  great storytelling. Period."   - Matt Rollins, Executive Creative Director

Scripting and 
Storyboarding

People don’t connect with things - they connect with feelings. This is why the story always comes first. Even in the early stages of an idea, we work to build in an emotional through line that carries from scriptwriting to each frame of a storyboard. So when we start shooting, the story comes to life.

“People moving in a space tend to look at screens for less than eight seconds, so we engage them fast.”   - Brett Stacy, Creative Director 

Live 
Action

The booming film industry here in Atlanta means that top-notch crews and on-camera talent are right in our backyard. Add in our decades of experience, and our shoots become incredibly efficient. We capture remarkable footage at all budget levels.

“We don’t go into a shoot thinking ‘we’ll fix it in post.’ Because  we are the post.”   - Lee Kordel, Art Director

Editing

On-staff editing means that we consult with our writers and directors before and during the shoot—not just afterwards. This makes for more production efficiency and a team that’s always thinking one step ahead. From simple montages to rich storytelling, we craft it all in-house.

“We’re not intimidated by huge video installations; we thrive on that stuff. That’s what we do.”    — Lauren Herle, Production Manager" 

Compositing 
and Finishing

This is an area where our multidisciplinary approach shines. Having a compositor and editor working together is a big deal.

From the beginning, we know the key information about technical abilities (and limitations) of the equipment, the resolutions required, and the file formats needed for the job. The result: seamless integration, every time.

“I am a designer first. Being a great animator is just a requisite skill."   - Brett Stacy, Associate Creative Director

Design, Motion 
Graphics, and
3D Animation

Start with the idea, design the form, then push it further. Try something different, something new. Our animators aren’t doing the usual stuff. They’re constantly experimenting, which is why our work stands out.

“You can’t just call a guy up and ask him to install a one-of-a-kind video configuration. You have to be there every step of the way.”   - Addison Lange, Hardware Integration 

Installation

Our installations are designed to fit a specific purpose and space, and that’s why we work closely with a tight circle of hardware integrators. Our creative and technical teams descend on a new installation to guarantee that the reality lives up to the promise. Each of the installations is our baby, and we want to be there to help with the delivery.

  • TRACED | Rapid Prototype

    Twenty-four hours at the Developer Summit Hackathon resulted in TRACED, a self-contained smartwatch app, which allows users to create and share location-based journeys and destinations using custom map data enriched by audio, video, and photography.
