OKTA
SECURE YOUR AI AGENTS
Director | Creative Director
I directed this next chapter of Okta’s brand campaign at Scholar, combining live action, CG characters and VFX to make an invisible AI workforce visible.
Across three spots, Move, Monitor and Respond, mischievous agents take over colorful offices, warehouses and server rooms. Expressive character animation, bold production design and dynamic camera moves bring the action to life as Okta puts people back in control.
We gave a familiar AI symbol personality through movement, expressive poses and playful interactions with our live-action cast.
FILM SHOOT
Distinctive casting, bold wardrobe and practical sets established three separate worlds. CG agents, set extensions and compositing brought each environment into the same playful visual language.
