The new company will offer video production and game-creation tools across AI, virtual reality and more
Endorphins Studios has launched as a next-generation content production company for health and fitness brands, the result of a partnership between Endorphinz, a fitness media company, and Extel, an agency in gaming, extended reality (XR) and AI development.
Endorphins Studios will create immersive and personalized content experiences for health and fitness brands and creators, including video and photo production, AI content creation, game design, interactive learning simulations, and experiences in virtual (VR) augmented (AR) and mixed reality (MR).
“Endorphinz provided best-in-class media production to over 75 fitness brands while helping companies navigate the pandemic and build digital brands over the last 5 years,” said Mike G. Hansen, the founder of Endorphinz and a partner at Endorphins Studios. “Now, it’s time to extend that media into emerging platforms, producing content using advanced technology for more immersive and personalized experiences.”
“Whether you need real-world media like videos or want to dive fully into virtual reality, Endorphins Studios will be your trusted partner every step of the way,” Hansen added.
With a team of 20-plus developers who specialize in gaming, AI and VR, Endorphins Studios says it can help health and fitness brands transition from static and dynamic media to immersive, tech-enabled content experiences and navigate the upcoming Web 3.0 environment.
“Since 2008, we’ve been developing games and interactive experiences, supporting health and fitness brands with everything from cardio-based games to VR fitness experiences,” noted Kandaswamy Sankara Narayanan, the founder of Extel and a partner at Endorphins Studios. “Combining forces with Mike G. Hansen and capitalizing on Endorphinz’s experience will accelerate industry innovation, allowing brands to push the boundaries of what’s possible as we lean further into AI-powered solutions for both real and virtual worlds and new media experiences.”
Endorphins Studios comes as ChatGPT developer OpenAI just released Sora, a video-generating AI that can create “realistic videos” from text, photo and video inputs. Sora has the potential to transform video content generation in the same way ChatGPT has done for text-based content, giving health and fitness brands a powerful new tool for marketing and advertising.
To celebrate its launch, Endorphins Studios is offering all first-time health and fitness customers a content and media audit which includes a review of current production, recommendations on new tools and a complimentary storyboarding workshop for new content ideas.
