The Story
Behind Observe.
ORIGIN
Closing
The Gap.
Observe was founded to close that gap: one studio, fluent across every format, so the idea comes first and the medium follows.
Why
Observe
Anticipating the Undercurrent
Before you can build what’s next, you have to see it coming. Observation means paying close attention to culture, human behavior, and the undercurrents of big tech long before they surface in the mainstream.

Writing the Future
✦ ✦ ✦
A Global Bench
of Builders.
Observe is powered by a team built for this exact moment — a mix of in-house creatives and a global network of industry executives, engineers, developers, and specialists brought together around technology and innovation, not job titles. Producers who’ve run traditional film sets sit alongside XR developers, AI specialists, and digital-arts technologists — people who’ve spent careers in physical production and people who’ve spent careers building in the immersive and digital-native world.
That range is the point. Every project pulls from a bench of experts across AI, XR, physical and digital production, traditional and immersive media — assembled around what the work actually needs, not around what one department happens to offer.
Led by founder Travis Cloyd — a producer, entrepreneur, and professor working at the intersection of media, technology, and business — the team shares his instinct for staying ahead of where the industry is headed. It’s a group that thrives on figuring things out together: collaborating across disciplines, challenging convention, and building things that haven’t existed before. That collaborative, disruptive energy is baked into how Observe operates — rigorous enough to deliver at the highest level, curious enough to keep pushing the format forward.
