What does WHULj mean?

WHULj (or Whulge) is a word that holds a special place in our hearts and cognitive noodles. It translates to "sea, salt water, ocean, or sound" or more specifically "the water we know" in English, from an anglicization of the Lushootseed name, x̌ʷə́lč.

One of the Salish Sea's major attractions is the giant Pacific octopus, the largest of the octopus species weighing in at up to 150 pounds with an arm span up to 20 feet. These fascinating creatures can voluntarily change color to express emotion, comfort, and intention and change texture to mimic their surroundings. You can see how we adopted this incredible creature to represent our vision.

How we do it

For over fifteen years, we’ve been helping great brands create almost every type of video known to man. Over 80% of them are repeat customers. We believe that's because of the exceptional care they receive, our easy and time-tested process, and well, because our videos work. We've created the space for creative talent to shine. Our highly collaborative and deeply supportive working style is contagious. And it overflows into how we work with our clients. We work together as a single tight-knit community with the shared goal of making something extraordinary. Amazing brands deserve amazing talent. As artists, technologists, and craftspeople, we excel in making the complex look easy. There is no substitute for talent. Making magnificent work isn’t magic, it’s skill. Proficient in both animation and live-action composition, our work speaks to the talent, originality, and vision our team wields.

Take a look around. See what others are saying about us. And when you're ready to experience a new level of service, incomparable creative that connects, and world-class videos that convert, give us a shout and we'll take it from there.
