We love to make characters move.

Here are a few examples of our work:

Looney Tunes: Wacky World
of Sports Game Trailer


As lifelong fans, we injected the zany humor and charm of the original Looney Tunes cartoons into each frame of animation. Our rigging team crafted advanced setups for cartoony movements, with dynamic details like hair, whiskers, tails, and ears. Animators brought Bugs, Daffy, and friends to life with precise lip-sync, environmental interactions, and lively VFX, with playful lighting and seamless compositing adding the perfect finishing touch.

Our teams consist of: game designers, concept artists, modelers, character riggers, character artists, environment artists, tech artists, engineers, and production support staff.

Dungeons & Dragons Game Trailer


Our team did the concept art, designs, final assets, rigs, animation, motion graphics and particle FX for the Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Teaser.

We started by going over the client’s creative brief, then drafting storyboards and iterating with the client until we had the beats nailed. Then our concept artists drew the dragons according to spec, and made changes at the client’s request. Once we were all ecstatic about the look, moved forward with rigging and animation in Adobe After Effects. Then we added particle FX for fire, smoke, ice, poison and more until we had a polished product. We then worked closely with the client as we edited the final teaser together and met the deadline in a matter of weeks.
