our previous WORK
In 1990, a massacre put an end to the little rural village of La India’s ideal of tranquillity.
Three local politicians and a young journalist are shot at close range in a packed restaurant. A crime that everyone could see. Thirty years later, the victims’ families are still seeking justice.
We were commissioned to create the title and motion graphics for this feature documentary.
No8 Studio invited us to collaborate on a project for Spindle, a London-based media firm.
The project was described on the Spindle’s website as “a mixed-media experimental documentary that dives into the psyche of Rag’n’Bone Man”.
The video, which is available on Apple Music alongside the singer’s new album Life by Misadventure, covers the record’s themes, his mental condition while recording it, and the creative process of it all coming together.
For this short music documentary, we were asked to develop style frames and motion graphic animations.
We were approached by the director of a music video to undertake post-production work.
Our major responsibility was colour grading and compositing, which included stabilisation, cleaning, rotoscoping, and object removal.
Our primary obstacles were the incredibly short deadline, the volume of work that needed to be completed, and the processes, since some materials required workarounds to be modified and more efficient colour correction.
The animation process
The animation process can be divided into three main sections:
PREPRODUCTION
Script development, treatments, moodboards, storyboards and visual studies to define the overall look and story.
PRODUCTION
Here the magic truly begins with animation. Bringing objects, characters and backgrounds to life. Voiceover recordings and score/soundtrack drafts to set the pace and timings for the animation.
POSTPRODUCTION
Editing, compositing, extra effects, versioning, and final score/soundtrack. We mainly offer 2D, 3D animation and VFX services, but we like to play around with anything post.
Animation Studio services
We mainly offer 2D and 3D animation services, but we also run an animation lab in which we work on and develop more experimental projects involving stop motion, puppetry, and hybrid techniques.
2d animation studio
2D animation is the art of creating movement in a two-dimensional space. This includes characters, creatures, FX, and backgrounds. While these graphics can be manipulated to look 3D, if you can’t rotate the object to get multiple views, it’s 2D animation.

3d animation
3D animation is the process of generating three-dimensional moving images in a digital environment. Careful manipulation of 3D models or objects is carried out within 3D software for exporting picture sequences, giving them the illusion of animation or movement.
