👽 Our hero Q4 spot for Sound Transit has landed.

Hinge Digital teamed up with Copacino Fujikado to create a retro sci-fi campaign filled with alien encounters and surprisingly human moments.

Shot live action with three actors in full prosthetic alien makeup, then elevated in post with subtle facial animation, VFX, compositing, color, and sound to bring our extraterrestrial office crew to life.

No AI—just practical effects and a lot of craft. 🛸

Stay tuned… more alien encounters are coming soon, featuring pyramids, cornfields, and Area 51. 👀

The rumors are true... Sasquatch was spotted at the new Picture This Production Services and Stage this past weekend.

Congratulations to the team at Picture This on the launch of their incredible new production facility! We were honored to help celebrate the grand opening by bringing a little Pacific Northwest magic to the big screen.

Our team at Hinge Digital created the AI-powered Sasquatch and planetary visual experiences that played throughout the event, with the team at Digital One bringing everything to life through final sound design and mix.

Thanks for having us! We can't wait to see all the amazing work created in this new space!

Fueled by hops. Powered by pixels. 🏆
What happens when you mix NASCAR energy, a custom Hinge Digital race car, and a splash of Digit ALE attitude? You get a high-octane ride that’s built to turn heads.
We started designing in AI then brought it to life with full CG textures and animation. From there, we teamed up with Andrew at Deepfield to push it across the finish line with final rendering and compositing.
Logos flying. Hops blazing. Pure speed.
This is what happens when craft, tech, and a little bit of chaos collide.
Hit play and take it for a spin!

Hinge Digital turns 17!
From humble beginnings to collaborating with brands like Nike, Adidas, Airbnb, Kohler, Starbucks (and many more), it’s been an incredible ride and we’re just getting started.
To celebrate, we created a fun AI muppet-style short featuring our founders, Alex & Roland, sharing a bit of the journey—where it all began and how far we’ve come.
Check out the video, give it some love, and celebrate with us!
Got a project in mind? We’d love to partner—reach out anytime.
Cheers to 17 years of storytelling, creativity, and amazing collaborations!

Behind the scenes on Xbox Elite Cereal 🕹️🥣
This spot came together end-to-end—from producing the live-action shoot to designing an all-original character and compositing him seamlessly into the footage in post.
We captured a full motion-capture performance, then brought it to life with CG animation, VFX, and finishing—plus full product replacement on the cereal boxes and CG replicas of the Xbox Elite controllers.
Inspired by classic ’80s and ’90s cereal commercials, we leaned into bold energy, playful performance, and a nostalgic tone—with a modern twist for today’s gamers.
Built with our friends at Mutiny, Executive Creative Director Noah Eichen and DP John Frost. 🎮✨
