We do Live Action Production
When people think of commercial or video production - they’re usually thinking live action. This means you’re partnering with us to set up a camera or two somewhere and capture a story that relates to your product, service, or story.
We do 2D and 3D Animation
These days - when we think brand storytelling and animation, we often think of the “explainer.” This is the low budget 2D flat animation that nearly every startup does before they have a big enough budget to tell their story the way they’d like to. However - Apple is the most prolific company in size and scale of marketing and virtually all of their launch videos feature sexy 3D animation of their new product line.
We do Post Production
Mile 80 was built on the back of a talented team of post-production artists. Key to this is the creation of a rock solid data management system that not only ensures global distribution of not only working files, but final deliverables without delay.
We do Creative Direction
Often a client has a rough idea or story they want told, but they can’t make sense of the best way to express it. In this case, Mile 80 will often come in as a creative agency and put together concepts and ideas for how to best tell the brand’s story.

It took me a long time to feel comfortable with the idea of calling myself an 'artist' though.
