Cognitive Films

It's been a few years since we officially cut a demo reel. The last few weeks have given us (too much) time to reflect on what we have accomplished since then. After reflecting, we started editing. We are pleased to introduce the long-anticipated Cognitive Films' 2020 production reel! We are currently working (from home) on some cool animated explainers, but we are very much looking forward to getting out there and shooting fresh content for you. This demo reel contains a selection of shots and soundbites from the many brand stories, explainers, courses, event sizzles, and testimonial videos we've produced over the years. If you want to brainstorm video ideas with us, big or small, we are ready and available to talk. #video #demoreel #reel #corporatevideo #testimonials #brandedcontent #documentary #businessvideo #cinematography #editor #motiongraphics #motiondesign #animation #austintexas #austin #videocontent #videoproduction #sizzlereel #film #content #courses #director

I'll be sharing some AI video experiments and workflows at the AI Creative Collective at 7pm tonight at Capital Factory in Austin. If you are #AI curious or knee deep in experimentation like I have been for the past year, it should be a good time. A big thank you to the talented writer/filmmaker Matisse Tolin for hosting and putting this together! 🦾

At-home virtual production tests on a TV with Unreal Engine 5! Using a laptop, TV, iPhone, and a camera. We hope you enjoy the results and BTS look into our second VP test at home! This is definitely promising! I will be doing more tests to see how much we can push it and how real we can get it to look. The scene was built using the free KitBash3D kit: Mission to Minerva Actress: Melis Caner . . . #ue5 #unrealengine #virtualproduction #vfx #incameraeffects #volumeset #cinematography Epic Games
