What we do
From handcrafted to photoreal
From handcrafted aesthetics to photorealistic worlds, every frame is built in service of the idea. We design characters with personality, build motion graphics that give brands a voice in motion, and animate in 2D and CG depending on what the story needs — often blending techniques inside a single piece.
Because animation sits inside a full post-production studio, it plugs straight into the rest of the pipeline: 3D animation for advertising that composites into live action alongside our VFX team, graded by our colourists and delivered in every format a campaign requires. And when it helps the idea move faster, AI-assisted animation joins the process — always guided by our artists.
FAQ
Do you make both 2D and 3D animation?
Yes — 2D animation, CG animation and motion graphics are all part of the service, and many projects mix them inside the same piece.
Do you design characters?
Yes, character design is part of our animation offer — designed and animated in the studio, in the style the project calls for.
Can animation be combined with live action?
Constantly. Our animation work runs alongside VFX and compositing, so animated elements can sit inside real photography — and get graded and finished with the rest of the film.
Do you use AI in animation?
When it serves the idea. AI-assisted animation is one of our tools, always under the creative direction of our artists — see our generative AI service.
