development
Every project starts here. We dig into your brief, ask the questions that matter, and figure out what this animation needs to do—not just how it should look. This is where we explore styles, test ideas, and align on a creative direction that serves your goals. By the end of development, we've built a shared vision and a clear path forward.
SCRIPT
Good animation starts with a strong foundation. Whether it's a voiceover script, on-screen text, or a full narrative, this is where we craft the story and messaging. We focus on clarity, pacing, and making sure every word earns its place. The script becomes the blueprint that guides everything—from character actions to timing—so when we move into production, nothing's left to chance
character Design
Characters are more than drawings—they're the personality of your project. This is where we design characters that feel right for your story and audience, balancing appeal with function. Every detail matters: proportions, expressions, color palettes, and how they'll move. We create characters that are memorable, ownable, and built to perform across every frame of the animation.
STORYBOARDs
This is where the project comes into focus. Storyboards map out every scene, shot, and transition—showing how the story unfolds visually before we commit to full production. We establish composition, camera angles, pacing, and key moments that drive the narrative. It's a chance to test ideas, refine the flow, and make sure everyone's aligned on what we're building. By the time we leave this stage, the animation is ready to move.
Style frames
Style frames define the visual language of your project. This is where we establish color palettes, lighting, texture, composition, and overall mood—creating key frames that show what the finished animation will look and feel like. These frames become the north star for production, ensuring every scene maintains visual consistency and emotional impact. It's the bridge between concept and execution, where the aesthetic truly comes to life.
VO Recording
Great voiceover can make or break an animation. We work with professional voice talent to bring scripts to life, capturing the right tone, pacing, and energy for your project. Whether it's warm and conversational or bold and commanding, we direct sessions to ensure every take supports the story. The VO becomes the emotional backbone, guiding timing and performance throughout the animation.
aNIMATIC
The animatic is where everything comes together in rough form. We take storyboards, add timing, voiceover, and placeholder audio to create a low-res version of the final piece. This lets us test pacing, transitions, and storytelling before committing to full animation. It's the last chance to refine the flow, spot issues, and make sure the piece works as intended. Once the animatic is locked, production moves forward with confidence.
Point of no return
This is the milestone where we commit to full production. Once we cross this line, the animation moves into final asset creation, character rigging, background builds, and full animation—work that can't be easily undone. Changes after this point become expensive and time-consuming. That's why everything before this stage exists: to make sure we're aligned, confident, and ready to build the final piece. From here, we're locked in and moving forward together.
backgrounds
Backgrounds set the stage for everything that happens in your animation. Whether it's a simple gradient or a fully realized world, we design environments that support the story, establish mood, and guide the viewer's eye. Every background is built to work with the characters and action, ensuring visual hierarchy and depth. They're not just scenery—they're part of the storytelling, creating the space where your animation lives.
ANIMATION
This is where the project comes to life. Frame by frame, we bring characters, motion, and moments into existence. Every movement is crafted with intention—timing, spacing, weight, and emotion all working together to create believable performance. Whether it's 2D hand-drawn, 3D, or motion graphics, this stage is where craft meets storytelling. The animation isn't just moving images—it's the heartbeat of the piece, turning static assets into something that captivates and connects.
AUDIO
Sound is half the experience. We design custom sound effects, select or compose music, and mix everything to enhance the emotion and impact of the animation. Every footstep, swoosh, and ambient tone is crafted to support the story and guide how the audience feels. Audio isn't an afterthought—it's a layer of storytelling that amplifies visuals, builds atmosphere, and makes moments land. When picture and sound work together, the animation becomes complete.
compositing
Compositing is where all the layers come together. We combine characters, backgrounds, effects, lighting, and color correction into a unified final image. This stage is about polish and precision—ensuring depth, atmosphere, and visual consistency across every frame. It's where subtle adjustments in color grading, shadows, and effects elevate the animation from good to exceptional. Compositing is the final step before delivery, where everything clicks into place and the piece becomes whole.
PROJECT LAUNCH
This is it—your animation is ready for the world. We deliver final files in the formats you need, optimized for every platform and use case. But launch isn't just handoff—it's the moment where all the planning, craft, and collaboration pays off. The animation goes live, does its job, and connects with your audience. We've built something that works, looks great, and delivers on the goals we set at the start. Now it's time to let it fly.
