The Story
We're Smith Robinson Multimedia; for 15 years we've been crafting award-winning video, motion graphics, explainers and documentaries for brands like The New York Times, Cartoon Network and Scientific American.
Our small team cuts out the bloat of traditional agencies to deliver under budget and ahead of schedule. Excellent video, less bullsh*t.
Founders Dominic Smith and Andy Robinson each have over a decade working in the industry. Together they’ve crossed two continents on bicycles, Norway on roller skis, and the arctic circle by ship; all while carrying a small production’s worth of gear on their backs. Leading a close-knit team of talented producers, animators and storytellers, their flexible, efficient approach leverages their broad skills and experience to produce incredible media with a minimal footprint.

Some of our work:
What We Do
Services
Video Production
We've ran hundreds of productions and know how to achieve the best results in the most efficient way - from far flung mountains to the urban jungle, we execute professional productions under any conditions and with a minimal footprint.
Motion Graphics
Versatile and highly skilled with decades of experience in the visual effects industry means that we bring a level of understanding and consistency to a project not possible with creators who stay in one lane.
Documentary / Journalism
We've racked up quite a few awards for our work in journalism and documentaries. If you need to document a 4000 year old tribe in the Congo that’s inaccessible by car? We can shoot that. If you need to show how that tribe migrated across a continent- we can animate that.
Interactives
Pirate ships, Zombie apocalypses, ninja academies; your uncle's stupid website idea; we’ve created them. Conjuring badass multimedia is our forte, and we aren't afraid to get our hands dirty.
