This announcement video was created to introduce Rime’s $24M Series A and explain the company’s vision for the future of voice interaction. Built around a founder-led script from CEO Lily Clifford, the piece combines direct-to-camera storytelling with archival material, studio footage, and simple motion graphics.

The goal was to make the funding announcement feel more thoughtful and distinctive than a traditional startup launch video. The final piece connects Rime’s background in linguistics and speech technology to the larger shift toward voice as a primary interface for AI.
