Hillmann & Carr Inc

Annenberg Center at Sunnylands Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History Media with a Mission Video — Audio — Interactive We are your full service partners

You provide the mission We supply the rest

We see the world through your eyes

We become stewards of your story We learn who you are, and who your audience is We join your team and share your goals

Your vision is our vision

Yes, we do special effects, immersive environments, augmented reality

and sometimes, actual smoke and mirrors! We use every tool in the box We’ve animated elephants and made ghost heads float in mid-air But underneath the smoke and mirrors, every project stays on solid ground

The best special effect is a good script

We care about details We dig deep Facts are credibility, and we get them right, but facts without poetry have no life Every story blends information and art

We will help you find the perfect balance

Learning is a full body exercise! Join the dance in an immersive theater Aim a real cannon and sink virtual ships Role-play real-life scenarios with your friends Record and remix a classic song
