WHAT WE DO

We create engaging practical media for broadcast and social media advertising, film and 3D illustration. Tactile, handmade puppets and props are our passion and the craft of stop motion is always at the heart of the work we do. We offer a range of production services including pre-visualisation, design and development, fabrication, shoot and edit.

DESIGN
We use a mixture of traditional and digital design tools that allow us to explore ideas before anything is made. Design is an integral part of everything we create, and we deeply consider both the outer aesthetics and inner workings in our process.
BUILD
Our workshop is equipped for a varied mix of different fabrication needs and building puppets for stop motion animation is one of our speciality services. Our local partner creatives can support us with larger scale productions, high-end fabrication processes and equipment.

SHOOT
The film studio is where we bring life to what we build. From stop motion animation to 3D illustration and photography, our content is practical and created under camera. Purpose built tools provide frame-by-frame control to ensure the best result.
EDIT
We can complete post-production in house or work with a specialist post production house for more complex digital FX and compositing to guarantee the elements can be combined in the most effective and creative way.
