We own the product.
We make the ad.
Break free.

Purple Squirrel Media is a creative and engineering studio. We wrote the books and built the products in the first sections, then made the ads that sell them. After that: our own brands, client platforms we engineered ourselves, and the range of styles we execute on brief — all scripted, voiced, cut, and rendered in-house.

01 Our products — ads we made for books we wrote

Full-ownership work: we wrote the book, produced the ad, and it is selling a real product on Amazon. Each cut is mastered for 16×9, 9×16, and 4K.

Superteams — Product Ad

“Old rules don't work. Proven remote strategies. Build remote dream teams. Get your copy today by Matthew Karsten, available at Amazon.” Scripted, voiced, and mastered in-house across three aspect ratios.

Leadership Teams — Product Ad

“Great teams aren't born. They are built with frameworks. Lead with confidence. Get the leadership playbook.” Boardroom and workflow-diagram footage cut to an original score.

Seeker 2 — Dare Market

Generative product card cut for the Solana Mobile Seeker 2 launch window.

Stylized 3D19s

Mascot Animation

Full 3D character study — lighting, fur, and hero poses directed shot by shot.

Campaign spot13s

Flat 2D sticker18s

Sticker Loops

Three animated sticker poses cut into a single loop for messaging and social.

04 Client work — products we built

Films for platforms and tools we engineered ourselves, so the demo is the real product rather than a mockup.

Client · ZetaChain8s

ZetaChain — Mascot Spot

Release announcement fronted by an AI-generated brand gorilla in ZetaChain green — a reusable mascot the client redeploys for every version bump.

Client · ZetaChain8s

ZetaChain — CLI Explainer

Developer-education short: the same mascot walks through the npm install flow with kinetic captions timed to the voiceover.

Motion explainer34s

Product demo67s

AI Academy — Product Demo

Walkthrough of the AI Academy platform we designed and shipped: screen capture, motion titles, and AI voiceover in one continuous pass.

05 Creature & character animation

Animal and character work across every rendering register we offer — bioluminescent, hyperreal, painterly, storybook, and surreal.

Bioluminescent 3D6s

Neon Tiger

A tiger rebuilt in glass and light: every fur strand emissive, the musculature reading through a translucent body as it prowls. For brands that want a hero animal without live-action.

Hyperreal macro6s

Feathered Owl

Macro-detail plumage pushed past photography — each feather individually resolved in saturated green, holding sharp under a slow push-in. Texture work at its densest.

Cinematic surreal6s

Astronaut Cat

A cat in a pressurized helmet against a planetary backdrop, lit like a film poster. Surreal premise rendered with straight-faced cinematic craft.

Storybook 3D30s

Tulip Elephant

An elephant built in soft light and a storybook palette, drifting through tulips and fireflies. The gentlest end of our character range — children's publishing and brand mascots.

Painterly · anime6s

Sun & Flora

Sun and moon over a hand-painted meadow in an anime-film register — brushwork skies and layered blooms rather than photoreal rendering.

Photoreal action8s

Barrel Surfer

Live-action-grade sports footage with no camera involved: a surfer inside the barrel, water spray and rim light behaving exactly as a real lens would capture them.

Steampunk concept6s

Brass Machine

A concept-art contraption in brass and blue plasma, annotated like a schematic and rendered in motion — the register we use for technical and world-building briefs.

06 Cinematic & concept

Longer-form narrative films — concept pitches and trailers built entirely from generated shots.

FeaturedConcept film62s

Terafab — Concept Film

A one-minute concept film for an autonomous terraforming fab: Mars-surface exteriors, robotic foundry interiors, and orbital sequences — fully generated 4K shots cut into a single narrative arc.

AI trailer32sSpec

Cinematic Trailer — Animation Study

A fully generative animated trailer: text-to-video shots art-directed into a stylized 3D chase sequence with a trailer-grade edit. Spec piece — not affiliated with any studio.
