Spacejunk

Spacejunk is an independent creative production studio based in Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 2002 by Mike Blosel and Rob Dierken, the company began as a two-person operation working from a home attic. It has since developed into a boutique studio producing commercial films, animation, motion graphics and integrated campaign content for brands, agencies, educational institutions and nonprofit organizations.

The studio brings creative development, production and finishing together within one team. Projects can begin with brand messaging, concepts, scripts and storyboards, then move through live-action filming, animation, editorial, color grading and sound. This integrated approach supports campaigns that combine filmed performances, designed imagery, character animation and visual effects.

Creative and production capabilities

Spacejunk’s animation work includes 2D vector animation, 3D character animation, CG design and broadcast motion graphics. Its live-action services cover commercial direction, cinematography, set production and shoot management. Post-production capabilities include compositing, visual effects and finishing, alongside in-house sound design, voiceover recording and audio mixing.

The company creates broadcast television commercials, online campaign films, in-store video, shorter campaign edits and social content suites. Its work spans retail and consumer goods, higher education and collegiate athletics, healthcare and public welfare, financial services and insurance, and food and beverage.

Selected work

Projects include Ohio State Athletics’ Victory Bell, Bath & Body Works’ Stranger Things / Entering the Upside Down, and the 2D character animation campaign Wendy’s Boo! Book with Saatchi & Saatchi. Other work includes UConn’s BECAUSE OF UCONN campaign with SimpsonScarborough, Huntington National Bank’s PW Speaks, Goodyear’s The Tires You Want, and advocacy films for Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s On Our Sleeves initiative. Across these projects, the studio combines brand storytelling with production techniques chosen for each campaign’s audience and format.
