Characters that guide staff through procedures and policies.
2D character animation that tells your story
Characters, scenes and motion drawn to your brand, so your message is remembered as a story rather than a list of points.
Overview
2D character animation
2D character animation turns an idea into a small world with people in it. We design the characters, build the backgrounds and animate them to match the script, so the viewer follows a story instead of reading a slide.
It works especially well when the topic is abstract, sensitive or hard to film. A friendly character can walk someone through a process, a policy or a product in a way that feels personal.

Review and delivery
Feedback rounds, then final files in every format you need.
Questions
Common questions
Can the characters be reused?
Yes. We build characters so they can appear in future videos, and we can supply them as separate assets if the agreement allows it.
Do you write the script?
We can write it, improve yours or work directly from an approved script.
