About Pixel Fiction
Pixel Fiction is an independent motion design, animation and post-production studio based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 2017, it creates commercial content and immersive media for brands, enterprise experience centers, educational organizations and nonprofit initiatives. Its work combines creative editorial, photoreal CGI, visual effects and character animation across formats ranging from mobile screens and broadcast television to large architectural displays.
The studio’s animation capabilities span concept development, 3D modeling, product visualization, motion graphics and architectural visualization. Its post-production services include storytelling, compositing, motion matching, rotoscoping, rig removal, object replacement and digital cleanup, alongside color correction and grading. Editorial work encompasses commercials, documentaries, features, music videos, web advertising and social campaigns.
Stories across physical spaces
Experiential storytelling is a substantial part of the studio’s practice. Pixel Fiction develops digital art and narrative media for executive briefing centers, interactive exhibits and multi-screen installations, adapting animation and editorial to the scale and configuration of physical environments.
For Illumina’s Client Engagement Center in San Diego, the studio contributed concept design, animation, motion graphics, editorial and visual effects to 25 videos presented across eight large LED walls. The work included interactive genomics content, a rotunda presentation and forest imagery for resting displays.
Its work for Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s Executive Business Center in Houston included Formula One display content, an International Space Station history timeline, transparent glass LED server animations and multi-screen theater media. For The Living Network, Pixel Fiction designed and animated an eight-panel installation featuring botanical growth and natural landscapes.
Commercial and community work
The studio’s commercial portfolio includes animated content and visual effects for Procter & Gamble brands such as Tide, Gain, Secret and Mr. Clean, as well as work for Duracell and iS Clinical. Beyond commercial assignments, Pixel Fiction has created character animation for student wellbeing programming, extending its storytelling practice into educational and community settings.
