2D Animation

Our 2D animation services combine frame-by-frame techniques with digital character rigs to create engaging visual content. Ideal for corporate explainers and educational materials, this format allows for creative flexibility while maintaining visual clarity. Each project receives tailored storyboarding and style frames to ensure brand alignment.

3D Animation

Specialising in 3D technical animations and product visualisations, we utilise Cinema 4D and Element 3D for photorealistic renders. Our capabilities include product explainers, physics-based simulations, and character animation that can be integrated with live-action footage for enhanced storytelling.

AI Animation

Leveraging our partnership with Think Diffusion, we incorporate AI tools to streamline production workflows. This includes AI lipsyncing technology that transforms static character images into dynamic performances, reducing production time while maintaining creative quality standards.

Healthcare Animation

We create pharmaceutical and healthcare animations that simplify complex scientific concepts. Our team produces mode-of-action videos, patient scenario animations, and conference presentation materials that balance technical accuracy with engaging visual storytelling for medical professionals and patients alike.

Stormy helped us develop multiple videos to promote the REWARDHeat project, which is funded by the European Commission. Jon and Lou were very professional throughout the process and we were very happy with the finished product.

Creative and imaginative, very professional studio - great 'explainer' videos for those occasions when words just don't cut it. Highly recommend!
