Studio Dialog is an idea passing from one imagination to another, forming a creative vision in motion. It’s what we mean by “dialog.” We blend visual media and sound to create rich experiences that run the gamut from animation, to motion graphics, to 3D, to design, to VFX and live action. This is what inspires us. We can’t wait to embrace whatever challenge you have to throw our way, share it around our digital campfire, and launch it into the world as a living, moving work of art.

OUR APPROACH // 

We utilize a variety of tools and techniques to execute our ideas and communicate messages to our audience. Regardless of the approach all of our methods are framed by our passion and love of design. It's at the core of all of our work regardless of the medium.

STEVE SEELEY

FOUNDER / CREATIVE DIRECTOR / DOP
Steve lives within what we describe as his ‘Comfort Zone’. It’s a serene place where time stands still and he is protected from the effects of aging, seafood, impulse purchases and statements like “it is what it is” and “this wine is dry”. However, when it comes to leading the design and animation team at Studio Dialog, Steve has no hang-ups about exploring new techniques and ideas to create dynamic work that pushes the creative and technical boundaries; this is something that gives all of us a little comfort.

ROBB THOMPSON

FOUNDER / CREATIVE DIRECTOR / PHOTOGRAPHER
Inspired by the outdoors, Robb embraces nature through his photography, snowboarding and double rainbows. But his true love is mountain biking, which he does at a neck-breaking speed, literally. At work, you’ll find him ensuring that everything is lined up to the pixel; his passion for good design is infectious and he is constantly inspiring the team to push the limits of motion design.

KENT TOTH

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT / PRODUCER
Loud talker, powerstancer, extrovert, bike rider and former speed skater. Kent was born without the awkward gene, making him the ideal producer and business development guy. With a background in editing, Kent is passionate about creating great solutions that are unique, fresh and effective. Business meets art. Thanks Kent.

SHELLEY FRIED 

ART DIRECTOR
Shelley Fried has killer taste. Food, furniture, map design, first-person shooters. Great if she’s on your team, otherwise you better watch your back. We’re talking from experience. Fortunately for us, when it comes to our work she’s on our side, producing one killer project after another.
