Character animation

A character turns a product into a story. We design characters from simple shapes, give them a voice and animate them so they act, not just move.

What we make

  • Brand mascots and characters for campaigns
  • Animated short series for social media
  • Explainers and animated music videos
  • Lip-sync to voice in any language

Who it’s for

Brands that want a face people return to, and series that need the same character to stay consistent from episode to episode.

Design, voice, acting

We start with shape language and silhouette, so the character reads even as a black shape. Then we cast the voice, sync the mouth to every line and animate the pauses as carefully as the action. The CRAM mascot is flat print on a crumpled bag; the NEVO heroine lives in a tiny alpine world on a scoop of ice cream.

How we work

  1. Idea

    A short brief, then several ideas in writing. You choose one before any images are made.

  2. Script and storyboard

    Shot by shot: what the viewer sees, what is said, how the camera moves and where the sound hits.

  3. Design

    Characters, products, places, colour and type, approved as style frames.

  4. Animatic

    The whole film in rough form with timing, voice and music, so changes are cheap.

  5. Animation and CGI

    Animation, 3D, effects and compositing, shown to you as quick previews after every change.

  6. Sound and grade

    Voice, music and sound effects mixed for each platform. Colour graded shot by shot.

  7. Delivery

    16:9, 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 masters, each composed natively, never cropped.

Designed natively for 16:9 and 9:16, never cropped.

Questions

2D or 3D?

Whichever serves the idea. Some characters are flat drawings, some are full 3D, and some, like CRAM, are both at once.
