This phase lays the foundation. We define objectives, target audience, and creative direction, then develop scripts and storyboards to map out the flow of the animation. By aligning on vision early, we ensure the final output communicates clearly and effectively.
This is where your story comes to life. Our illustrators design characters, environments, and motion elements, while our animators bring them to life through expressive movement and seamless transitions. We combine advanced rigging, 2D effects, and compositing techniques to deliver smooth, dynamic animation with professional polish.
Here, everything comes together. We refine colour, enhance pacing, and integrate voiceover, sound effects, and music to create a cohesive and engaging final piece. Every frame is reviewed for consistency and quality to ensure your animation meets both creative and technical standards.
Once approved, your animation is exported and optimised for its intended platform, whether it is for broadcast, online, or internal use. We handle quality control, provide multiple formats as needed, and securely archive project files for future updates or adaptations.
