Case Study

LEGO - Arts and Crafts

To remind parents that LEGO is a great product for arts and crafts projects, we teamed up with Highly Unlikely and the LEGO Agency to create an advertising campaign using stop motion and hand pixilation.

Case Study

Sport England - Join the Movement

We teamed up with FCB Inferno and Sport England to bring sports equipment to life. For this advertising campaign we used hand puppets and live action.

Our unloved sports equipment sang a melancholy love song to get the attention of their distracted owners.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an animation cost?

Each project is unique and we tailor our approach to fit your budget, giving you options for what’s possible on your budget.

Said another way: how much does a car cost? It depends, what kind of car do you want?

Do you do everything in-house?

Yes, our London studio has two stages for animating with a dedicated art department. We can make everything here, and there’s plenty of room for you to attend the shoot.

We also take care of post-production, so we have oversight over the entire process.

What's the process?

We work closely with you during pre-production so there are no surprises, and will have regular check ins to ensure the process is collaborative.

Where do I start?

Whether you already have a brief or need some help with the creative, we are happy to work with you every step of the way – from scriptwriting, to model making, production and post.
