We strive to make every pixel count. Help create content that captivates your audience. Have fun. Continue working with amazing creative talent from every corner of the creative uni/multi/metaverse.
We are an Emmy-Award winning creative agency with a network of ridiculously talented and fun creatives. At StaticJoe, we craft visual stories that make your audience watch more than once. While our primary focus is motion graphics and post-production, we offer full service video production from concept to completion and design for social. Our core team are roaches in the creative universe. So what if we have less hair, and whatever is left might be greyer than others. We’ve been around the creative block and love to adapt and evolve our content to stay fresh for what’s next.
Bottom line, we know what captivates, and know that it’s continually evolving over time and our experience shows it. If you need a specific style, experience or talent, we have that or know someone in our network who does.
At StaticJoe, our clients are our friends, their projects are our playground and we love playgrounds - especially the dangerous old splintery wood and metal built ones - but that doesn’t fit in this analogy. Whether it’s a two dimensional graphic, 3D animation, app development, original video, or a mix of the four, we love uncovering compelling stories for your audience.
StaticJoe Family
Owner / Creative Director
Brian Jouan
With more than 20 years experience in production and post-production, my start in video came while I was an html web developer. Knowing very little about it, my manager tasked me to create a TV show for public access in San Diego. Shortly after, I got a job at a regional network, supporting multiple television shows and marketing campaigns. My passion for smashing together captivating storytelling with motion graphics and video started here. It’s also where I grew to love crafting captivating stories and building graphics packages for shows and sports programming.
StaticJoe started in 2010. The economy was tanking, life is short and I wasn’t getting any younger. This wasn’t really meant to be more than a part-time thing. As fortune has it, it quickly became more than a full time job and for StaticJoe to succeed, I needed help. Over the last twelve years, the projects with the best outcomes have been team-oriented. With them, I have always looked forward to crafting compelling stories in any format or medium - especially where they are least expected. At StaticJoe, I have developed content for companies large and small including Qualcomm, Red Bull, Intel, Google, MLB, GoFundMe, Oakley, and Titleist.
In my free time, I love to try and keep up with my two hilariously whacky children. And when I need to disconnect and recharge my creative batteries, I love getting lost in my organic vegetable garden.

2D Motion Graphics
Jason Lee
I was born in the heat and humidity of East Houston, Texas. I drew in my notebook until I hit college. I attended the University of Houston where I graduated with a BA Communications. I decided to move to California to discover green vegetables and nice weather. The absurdity of animation is what I am drawn to and where I plan to be.
