What The Other House does

The Other House is a full-service creative studio founded in 2011 in Portland, Oregon by four industry professionals (Chris Roth, Amber Roth, Lara Roth, and Steve Roth), operating as The Other House LLC. The studio delivers branding, motion design, live-action production, broadcast design, animation, visual effects, and post-production services to enterprise clients in the broadcast, streaming, publishing, music, and corporate brand sectors. Its named client roster spans NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS, TBS, Netflix, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, HBO, the History Channel, CNN/CNN Money, CNBC, Red Bull, Nike, Macy's, Ciroc/Diageo, and major book publishers including Macmillan/St. Martin's Press and Random House, alongside music artists such as Ministry, Dirty Projectors, and Laibach.

The studio's underlying technology stack spans motion design, broadcast graphics, animation, live-action production, VFX (green screen compositing, motion tracking, particle effects, colorization), 360-degree video production using specialized spherical multi-lens cameras with proprietary equi-rectangular distortion workflows, and full post-production finishing in HD/4K. A notable capability is its end-to-end broadcast design ecosystem — integrating branding, live-action, animation, and VFX under one roof — which eliminates the need for multiple vendors. The team includes Parsons School of Design and Academy of Art University graduates with 12–20+ years of industry experience across motion graphics, cinematography, editing, and visual effects.

The business model is project-based bespoke creative services priced via quote on a per-project basis; revenue streams include broadcast design and title sequences, full graphics package production, infotainment/infographic content, music video production, and book trailer/commercial production. Go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven, with client acquisition powered primarily by the studio's portfolio of high-profile work, marquee client associations (notably a 10+ consecutive year engagement with the Television Academy for the Emmys key art, spanning the 69th through 78th Emmys, 2017–2026), and direct outreach. No public pricing, recurring subscription, or self-service channels are disclosed; all engagements are direct enterprise relationships.
