      VR/AR Review from Eric J Nesser

      Next/Now helped realize our ambituous mixed reality vision for educating automotive consumers about safety features, driving assistance, and parking assistance with holographic imagery that can be deployed in real world space. We were able to engage consumers on the field without any special equipment besides modern phones and tablets. I would definitely recommend Next/Now to other agencies, as they bulldozed project obstacles, put a lot of love into details, and made our CG really stand out.

      Next/Now is Chicago's hidden gem. I couldn't believe my good fortune when I found them. Well versed in creating just about every interactive experience you can think of, they bring to life virtual reality, augmented reality, gesture control, projection mapping and interactive videos walls to life. In a world that constantly seeks to avoid advertising and many branded messages, Next/Now consistently produces brand experiences that people actually flock to. This is what drew me to them after 10 years of traditional advertising. Their nimble, strategic teams produce quality content and share-worthy moments. If you'd like to stop living in the 80s and move into the future of brand and content creation, call on Next/Now.

      They are an incredible company, comprising great talent. The best quality about DK is the ability and acknowledgment that it has pulled in throughout the years. Not exclusively will you work with industry pioneers in configuration, movement, and experiential orders, you'll have the option to be a basic part to the inventive procedure. No real cons however the board should give additional regard for the imaginative procedure. I worked at Digital Kitchen full-time for over 4 years and I adored it and it has helped me a great deal.

      The team at Guy Bauer Productions was the best we could dream of! The filming crew was prompt and made great use of their time while in house getting the footage they need for our corporate film. Editing was very smooth and the staff was very helpful in meeting our requirements and achieving what we were looking to accomplish, all within our deadline. I was impressed with this agency from the moment our quote and proposal was sent over. Very professional, friendly, and high quality work.My colleagues and I received endless compliments on the final product and our audience was very impressed with the level of work that was achieved. Producing our corporate film with Guy Bauer has added a tremendous asset to our portfolio and we look forward to continuing to work with them in the future. Highly recommended!

      3D Animation Review from Andrew Bielous

      We recently worked with DreamInk Studio on a series of 3D visualizations for our electronic manufacturing services, as well as some 3D animations for our ad campaign, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Their work was outstanding, combining technical accuracy with creativity that really brought our projects to life.The visualizations not only looked fantastic but also helped us effectively communicate our services to clients. The animations for our ad campaign, in particular, were impressive catching the eye of our target audience and delivering our message with impact.For the quality of the work provided, we found the cost to be more than reasonable. The team was professional, easy to work with, and delivered everything on time. We highly recommend DreamInk Studio for anyone in need of high-quality 3D work that delivers great value.

      Games Review from Shaun Edwards

      I began working with Vlad in 2022 when we needed 3D characters made for our web3 gaming project. Vlad meticulously developed all the technical aspects of the task, ensuring the character's integration into our future game. He not only developed a series of characters unique to my concept but also effectively managed the distribution of tasks among team members, including creating new textures and skins.The game development process started with the discussion of level design, after which Vlad and his team created the first demo version of our game. Vlad demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, hiring additional specialists such as programmers and consultants to further enhance the project.The initiative to create a second version of the game came from me, and Vlad actively supported this proposal. He attentively considered my wishes, coordinated the team's efforts, and prepared additional technical tasks for new challenges. Vlad also successfully adapted the characters for use in Unreal Engine and coordinated the development of game mechanics and NPC physics, including the creation of new game levels.Currently, Vlad is actively involved in refining the game, upgrading our characters. His professionalism, teamwork skills, and results-oriented approach make him an exceptional project manager and we will continue to work with him as long as we can! Vlad is a huge asset to any business in this industry and if he does not know how to do something, he will learn it, or bring one of his many contacts into the project! We are yet to find a problem that Vlad could not fix!

      Looking for beyond creative, beyond innovative? The Sarofsky team has an amazing ability to see what many of us, most of us, wish we could see! We were vague in our specifications and absolutely amazed at the results. Had we been more specific the results would have been far less than where Erin and her team brought us. Challenge them and then, be prepared!

      Gigantic shoutout to the entire Sarofsky team. State of the art facility producing top tier work. That’s not the highlights though. It’s the culture their CEO Erin has created that really stands out. That and well all the 4-legged friends that are chilling on the back patio. Listen, if you have a project or want to learn the industry Sarofsky has you covered. Tell them Jesse referred you and they will whip you up a batch of fresh sautéed Shishito peppers!
