Gotham Pictures provides high-end video production, creative direction and creative services. From producing, directing and script writing to editing, graphics design and animation, we can help you shine.
Do you need an opening video for a launch event or national sales meeting? We’ve made hundreds of them, each unique, expertly crafted to motivate, inspire and connect.
Are you rebranding? Shifting corporate culture? Do you need a consistent way to connect across divisions? We’ve helped a wide array of global communications teams to do all of these things. From a video series focused on thought leadership, monthly messages from the Leadership Team to “behind the scenes” TikTok-style videos and user-generated video contests, we are constantly looking for new ways to inform and entertain.
How about a creative partner to develop your event theme, key messaging, videos, script and graphic design? We have an expert team of creative directors, writers, animators, video editors and designers who can’t wait to tell your story.
We have more than 25 years of experience, and dozens of awards. We’ve worked with six of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies, top-tier retailers like Barnes & Noble, Burlington Stores and Saks 5th Avenue, tech giants like IBM, Lenovo and Gartner and financial services leaders including Citibank, American Express, Chase and MasterCard.
How can we help you?
We created this video for Lenovo’s TechWorld last Fall. It features model, and Global Disability and Inclusion Consultant, Shaholly Ayers. She talks about challenges that disabled people face, and how more inclusive device design can improve lives.
This animation opens a series of videos aimed at changing the culture of a top pharmaceutical company. Working with their Corporate Communications team, we created a distinct video series to help shift thinking and empower their teams to take risks.
This was made for Barnes & Noble Education to announce their partnership with Lids/Fanatics, online, and in their more than 800 retail locations. The audience was college administrators, future clients and the 15,000 booksellers who work at Barnes & Noble College.
We created this opening video for a top 10 pharma company, for a national sales meeting. Using animation, graphics and stock images, we were able to create an impactful, uplifting video in a very short time frame, for a very modest budget.
When the pandemic hit, we spent much of it volunteering in our Brooklyn neighborhood. This promo was part of a virtual benefit we did for St. Nicks Alliance, raising almost $300K for this amazing non-profit. They provide tenant services, daycare, job skills training, elder care and senior housing for people in need in our neighborhood, and we are proud to be a member of their Board of Directors.
Cloudinary needed help promoting ImageCon, their annual developers conference. We worked with their talented graphics team to create a fun, upbeat teaser video to drive awareness and generate excitement about the event.
For the past few years, we have teamed with our great partners at ESG to produce Lenovo’s TechWorld. It’s a 2-hour video extravaganza, shot in 4 continents, and streamed in multiple languages across the world. It was a huge group effort, with more than 50 talented professionals from our video production team alone.
Barnes & Noble College wanted to reach incoming college freshmen, who now have many options when choosing where to buy textbooks. We created a white-board style animation, hosted on YouTube, and linked to each of their 800 college partners’ websites. It received more than 100,000 views in the two weeks before school started, and positioned Barnes & Noble as a trusted resource for students.
A top 10 pharmaceutical company needed a video for the launch of a breakthrough drug delivery mechanism. They had no existing video assets, but they did have a very interesting story to tell. We proposed an animated approach using iconography and a clean, 2D style.
Barnes & Noble College operates nearly 1,000 campus bookstores in the U.S. Their secret weapon is an incredible culture of service to the institutions they serve. To reinforce this culture, and to inspire their teams, we proposed a narrative video to share the magic.
We’ve been at this awhile. This is an early web marketing video we made for American Express featuring Wired Magazine. It was part of a series on entrepreneurs that included Spike Lee, Tom Colicchio, Diane Von Furstenberg and her husband, Barry Diller, all interviewed by Seth Godin.
