We completed this 60 second spot a while ago, but only recently put it online. It contains a blend of live action, motion design, matte paintings, and 3D to create contrasting landscapes from barren and desolate, to rich and beautiful, depicting the rebirth of a world.
Studio Dialog helped Syncapse launch their SocialTALK product, a service that allows businesses to easily manage and measure their social media presence and impact.
Studio Dialog designed new identities for partners-in-crime, and fellow office-mates: Redemption and Nine40. Both logos were designed to appeal to the agency crowd, while representing each company as a hip, new player in the industry.
After much discussions and tinkering our studio has finalized a new identity. Our concept? Laser beams and measured deconstruction. Ok, we really just want an updated identity that conveys our love for doing cool work with cool people. Streamlined & Sexy.
We recently moved the studio to a new space on 17th avenue. It’s a great new space on the 3rd floor of the historic megatunes building in Calgary. Brick walls, large windows and great light make this the perfect new place for creativity to happen. Check out more photos below. Read More »

Recently Sturgess Architecture contacted us to design and produce a motion piece for their upcoming pitch to redesign the Epcor Centre here in Calgary. Sturgess have designed some of the most spectacular architecture in western Canada and our studio was excited to contribute to their pitch. Since we do not know what the final redesign will look like, our studio visualize the contrasts between the before and after. Unfortunately the pitch was cut short and we ended the project with a storyboard. Check it out after the jump! Read More »
