At Picturesmith, we blend art and craft with a deep understanding of brand communication to create content that cuts through the noise.

We work across stop motion, puppeteering, and 2D animation, each chosen for its ability to add depth, character, and originality. Stop motion delivers a handcrafted, tactile quality that makes brands feel human. Puppeteering give personality and authenticity, creating a tangible, fun connection with audiences. 2D animation allows for clean, flexible storytelling, making complex ideas feel simple and engaging.

No templates. No shortcuts. Just carefully considered, beautifully executed storytelling.

“Picturesmith are our go-to for stop motion, papercraft, in camera or hand crafted animations. They bring an awful lot of additional creativity to the table and help us realise the best way to do our ideas. They know what will look really nice, and have expert knowledge of different mediums. Plus they seamlessly slip into our existing processes. We get a high level of quality, delivered very efficiently. And what it looks like in my head is always surpassed by the end results. They bring so much creativity, craft, and gloss to the final product – and you’ll have a fun time doing it.”
George BergelExecutive Producer, Flying Object

They went above and beyond to bring ambitious ideas to life – and, whatever challenges we faced (whether clients, physics or budget), they always proactively tabled great solutions. I can’t wait for the opportunity to work with them again.”
