Character Animation Studio
People connect with people — even drawn ones. We design, rig and animate characters with real personality, so your message is carried by someone your audience wants to watch.
A good character does more than appear on screen. It reacts, hesitates, celebrates and empathises — and those small acting choices are what make audiences care about the story it's telling. That's the craft we focus on.
Our character pipeline covers design, turnarounds, expression sheets, rigging, lip-sync and performance animation in both 2D and 3D. Once built, your characters can return in campaign after campaign, becoming recognisable brand assets in their own right.
Whether you need a single mascot or an entire cast, we handle every stage of character production.
Original characters developed from your brand, audience and story, with turnarounds and expression sheets.
Mascots that move, speak and act consistently across ads, social posts and product experiences.
Flexible 2D rigs with mouth charts, hand poses and expressions for fast, consistent animation.
Fully modelled and rigged 3D characters with facial controls and believable body mechanics.
Precise mouth animation matched to voice-over, in any language, for natural-looking speech.
Episodic content with recurring characters for YouTube, social channels and education platforms.
A cross-section of the animated work we produce. Each project started with a conversation about what the audience needed to understand, feel or do — and the video was built backwards from that.
B2B SaaSWe wrote and animated a 90-second 2D explainer that follows one team through a chaotic week, then shows the same week with the product — UI animated in the brand's own style.
HealthcareA series of five calm, character-led animations — one per step of the patient journey — reviewed for clinical accuracy and captioned for sound-off viewing.
FintechA reusable motion graphics system — templates, transitions and an animated UI kit — that lets us turn each release into a 20-second walkthrough within days.
EcommerceWe built the product in 3D from CAD files, then lit and animated a 45-second launch film plus a turntable and exploded view for the product page.
Three things decide whether audiences connect with a character.
Silhouette, shape language and colour are chosen to communicate personality before the character even moves.
Our animators study timing, anticipation and expression so characters feel like they're thinking.
Detailed model sheets and rigs keep your character consistent across every video and every animator.
From hand-drawn performance to full 3D rigs, these are the techniques behind our characters.
We build libraries of facial expressions and poses for each character, speeding up animation and keeping emotions consistent.

A banking app mascot with 40 pre-built expressions used across in-app tips, emails and social posts.
Our rigs support phoneme-based lip-sync, so the same animation can be re-voiced in any language with accurate mouth movement.

A safety training series dubbed into five languages, with lip-sync re-timed for each.
Hair, clothing, breathing and weight shifts add subtle realism that makes characters feel present.

On-Demand ServicesA well-designed character is a long-term brand asset. Once audiences know and like your character, every new video starts with built-in recognition and goodwill — something stock footage can never provide.
We build characters for longevity: production-ready rigs, style guides and expression libraries mean each new appearance is faster and more affordable than the last.

Characters cross languages and cultures more easily than presenters.
Most projects draw on more than one discipline. These are the services that sit alongside this one.
Character design typically starts around $1,500. Animated videos featuring characters usually cost $5,000–$25,000 depending on length, number of characters and 2D vs 3D.
Once the project is paid in full, the character's design rights transfer to you as set out in your contract, so you can use it across all your marketing.
Yes. We can rig and animate an existing mascot from your artwork, rebuilding it as an animation-ready model if needed.
2D characters are faster and more illustrative; 3D characters offer depth, realism and flexible camera angles. We'll recommend based on your style, budget and future plans.
Design and rigging take 1–3 weeks. A video featuring the character then follows a normal 3–8 week production schedule.
Yes. Our rigs support lip-sync in any language, so you can localise content without re-animating from scratch.
