“We like to think that our knowledge and years of experience help our clients make the best use of digital media.”

Think back all the way to 1985. The shoulder pads, the perms, the neon leg warmers. Nancy and Rod Rich were working in Dallas. Rod, at WFAA-TV as a cameraman and weather graphics programmer. Nancy, at Sundance Production’s animation division, Acmecartoon. Their dream: to start an animation company in their garage. But several long-distance phone calls later, Nancy’s brother (owner of Videofonics in Raleigh) said “Don’t be starting an animation studio in Texas! Come home to Raleigh, and start one for me!” And so they did.

A Bosch FGS-4000 animation system was purchased and installed. It was the first 3-d animation system in the Southeast. Soon, the animation portion of the business was turned into a separate company and renamed “Serious Robots Animation”. Staff was added and clients like Cartoon Network and PBS Children’s Television Network began to call. Videofonics and Serious Robots’ fame and reputation was growing, and it wasn’t going unnoticed. In 2003, an investor from Texas bought out both companies and incorporated them into a new film and video production entity called Trailblazer Studios.

After a few years working at Trailblazer, Rod and Nancy struck out on their own. Feeling especially like brave little monkeys for starting over, the new company was dubbed “Monkeybravo”. 

“We like to think that our knowledge and years of experience help our clients make the best use of digital media”, says co-owner and Creative Director Nancy Rich.

Monkeybravo at your service.

For Corporations

In this busy world, busy times can overwhelm your corporate communication department or in-house video production staff. The ability to have a reliable crew to call at the last moment to film a workshop, record some interviews, or shoot some B-roll at a special event can be very helpful. Our animation and motion graphics design background is great for “explainer videos” for internal communication, your website or YouTube channel. Animated web banners are also a specialty.  Broadcast and internet formats change almost daily - and we keep track of the latest codecs and technical requirements for the latest platforms and apps.

For Business Owners

Marketing your product or service is much more complicated than even a few years ago. It’s necessary to advertise online as well as on TV and radio. It’s all about using and re-using your assets. Just a few hours with a small video crew can attain the footage you need to cover all the bases. The clips can be edited into a marketing video that can be embedded into your website. Or still photos can be pulled for your print brochure. Repurpose a professional voiceover for a radio spot. And repurpose the video clips for a TV commercial. Then we’ll animate your logo for that finishing touch.
