About  /  Mitchell Galvin

Ten years selling things.
Now I film them.

The short version: I am 33, I have worked in marketing for over a decade, and miggycreates is the studio I run out of Thailand making AI video for brands who want to look nothing like their competitors.

01 The long version
Background

Marketing first, models second

Over ten years on the agency side, running accounts and campaigns for businesses who pay for results rather than awards. That means I have sat in the meeting where the video did not work and had to explain why.

So a brief from me starts with what the film has to achieve, not with which model I feel like using this week.

Now

Based in Thailand, briefs from anywhere

I work out of Pattaya. Clients are in Australia, across Asia and in the US, which means someone is always awake when you send the brief.

Everything runs on WhatsApp and a shared drive. No portals, no account manager between you and the person making the thing.

02 The two names

miggycreates makes it.
miggyasia is in it.

miggycreates is the studio. miggyasia is the character I built to prove a point: that you can hold one face, one look and one world steady across an entire series instead of rolling the dice on every clip. He has walked a Shanghai skyline and fronted films that exist purely so I could break the technique before a client paid for it.

If your project needs a recurring character, that is the exact problem I have spent the most time solving.

03 How a project runs
  • Day 1

    Brief and concept

    You send the idea, the brand rules and anything you like the look of. I come back with a written concept and a shot list.

  • Day 2

    Look and references

    Reference images prepped and locked so every shot in the film belongs to the same world.

  • Day 3-5

    Generation

    Every shot generated and re-rolled until it is right. Re-rolls are never billed and never capped.

  • Day 5-7

    Edit and delivery

    Cut, colour grade, sound, licensed music and captions. Delivered 9:16 and 16:9 with one round of revisions included.

04 Off the clock

Padel, Muay Thai, and an unreasonable number of renders.

Most of what I know about pacing a 30 second film came from sport. You have got one moment to commit and no way to take it back. Same energy, fewer injuries.

A rough idea in a voice note is enough to start. I will come back with a shot list and a number.
