About Capacity Studios
Capacity Studios is an American boutique creative agency and design studio working across motion design, animation, broadcast identity, in-game cinematics and real-time graphics. Founded in Los Angeles in 2003 by Ellerey Gave and Jennifer Gave, the company develops custom content for video game publishers, esports organizations, entertainment networks and brands. Its work spans individual campaign assets and broader visual systems designed for games, broadcasts and live events.
The studio operated under the name Capacity before adopting Capacity Studios in early 2020. That change accompanied an expansion from Southern California to North Carolina’s Research Triangle. The company subsequently adopted a fully distributed production model, connecting its teams across both coasts.
Cinematics and visual storytelling
Capacity’s cinematic work includes in-game sequences, game reveal trailers, launch teasers, character animation and pre-launch storytelling. Projects range from seasonal marketing and automotive crossover cinematics for Rocket League to event presentation graphics for Call of Duty. Its portfolio also includes work for Fortnite, Destiny 2, Exodus and Magic: The Gathering Arena.
Alongside finished animation, the studio creates concept design, look development, key art and game assets. Creative direction, scriptwriting, lore videos and sound design support projects that require a coordinated narrative and visual approach.
Branding for screens and live audiences
The company’s identity work encompasses logos, style guides, custom typography, campaign systems and motion branding. Broadcast and event projects include graphics packages, real-time toolkits, lower thirds, stage visuals and arena opener videos. These capabilities connect brand design with the practical demands of recurring broadcasts, tournament coverage and live presentation.
Its entertainment and sports work includes broadcast redesign and graphics for NFL Network, bespoke typography for NBC Sports, network branding for Cartoon Network and arena motion graphics for the Sacramento Kings. Across gaming and non-gaming assignments, Capacity combines 2D and 3D animation with real-time production to deliver content for multiple formats and viewing environments.
