Welcome!
We've had the chance to work on some really fun spots in the last few years, both as directors as well as animation / vfx supervisors at our company HiFi 3D. Here are a few samples and reels, with some brief info. Feel free to reach out with any questions to jon@hifi3d.com
Thanks for taking a look!
- Jon + Szymon
As a directing team, we go by Jon + Szymon. We’ve worked on lots of spots, specializing in mixing VFX and live action. Lots of toy commercials, as well as high end product-centric videos. For even more of our directing work, go to our DIRECTORS section
We directed and produced this Black Panther spot. We handled everything including storyboards, a full 3d pre-vis, casting, shooting, editing, and VFX.
You can also see a case study about the making of this spot here
It also got a lot of press because it was a very unusual example of a major toy spot featuring an all-minority cast:
This Black Panther Toy Commercial Is More Important Than You Understand
HiFi 3D produced this spot, and we directed. This one had a great concept, and some funny dialogue, particularly for a toy spot. We shot this in a home in Long Island, including both the live action living room sequence and the fantasy sequences, which were shot on a pop-up blue screen on the premises. Jon designed and built the prop break-away walls himself.
We handled everything including storyboards, a full 3d pre-vis, casting, shooting, editing, and VFX.
This one had a very sweet script. The challenge was to find a 6 year old girl who could deliver a lot of dialogue. We shot this on location in Park Slope over 2 days, with a crane and a steadicam.

We handled everything including a full 3d pre-vis, casting, shooting, editing, and VFX.
This one was a challenge because we needed to shoot parts of the spot through the app itself, running on an iPhone. This required a lot of R+D, and we had to build a custom rig to make it work on the shoot.

We directed and produced these two spots for ALLY. It’s mostly stop motion, with a bit of CG and motion graphics. We shot the stop motion in a studio in Brooklyn.
In addition to our directing and animation work, we do VFX work for commercials and TV. We usually act as VFX supervisors on these spots. Here is a montage with some fun shot breakdowns.
