Character design and animation for mascots, campaigns, explainers and branded content in 2D or 3D.
We develop characters from initial concepts or existing artwork, covering visual development, animation and agreed format adaptations to suit your project.
Trusted by
Whether you need a new mascot, campaign character or existing brand character animated, we develop the production approach around how the character will be used. Working from initial concepts or supplied artwork, we establish the designs, poses and expressions needed for the brief.
Visual development, rigging and animation are planned around the agreed deliverables, with additional format adaptations scoped as needed. Depending on the agreed scope, character animation projects can include:
Five ways we take a character from idea to finished animation. Most briefs combine two or three of these.
Hand-drawn and rigged 2D characters with expressive frame-by-frame or puppet motion for explainers, spots and social.
Best For:
Story-led content / Warm, illustrative brands / Explainers / Fast social turnaround
Fully modelled, rigged and lit 3D characters for hero films, product moments and detailed performance.
Best For:
Premium hero pieces / Product storytelling / Realistic or stylised depth / Reusable rigs
Original mascots and brand IP designed once and built to animate consistently across every channel.
Best For:
Long-term brand assets / Campaign continuity / Merchandise-ready characters / Ownable IP
End-to-end character creation from first sketch and turnaround through rig to finished animation.
Best For:
Starting from zero / No existing character / Full ownership of the pipeline / One accountable team
Short, loop-friendly character animations cut for feeds, stories and paid placements across a campaign.
Best For:
Always-on social / Multi-format campaigns / Fast iteration / Performance-led creative
A predictable five-step process. No surprises, no scope creep.

FAQ
Costs depend on the number of characters, whether the project uses 2D or 3D, animation length, rigging, environments, audio and the final deliverables. Share your brief and references, and we’ll scope the production around what your project needs.
Timelines depend on whether the character already exists, how much visual development is needed, animation complexity, feedback rounds and the number of final formats. We’ll map the schedule once we’ve reviewed your brief, deliverables and launch date.
Yes. We can start from a written brief, sketch, mood board or brand guidelines, then develop the character’s look and the poses, expressions and model sheets needed for the agreed production scope.
Yes. Send us the existing artwork and brand guidelines and we’ll assess what is needed for animation. Depending on the asset, this may include separating artwork into layers, creating additional character views, building a rig or modelling the character in 3D.
It depends on the visual style, movement, camera angles, platforms and existing brand assets. 2D can suit illustrated and graphic styles, while 3D can support dimensional characters and movement across different camera angles, depending on the model and rig.
Yes. Cutdowns, vertical versions, loops, GIFs, stills and additional scenes can be included in the project scope. Planning these formats early can make production more efficient, as each version may still require reframing, re-timing or additional animation rather than a simple export.
