Animation

Animation Studio in Sri Lanka

Animation shows what a camera can't: the inside of a product, an idea that doesn't exist yet, a world built from nothing. We take animated work from script and storyboard through to the final render and sound mix.

Because design, film and post production sit under the same roof, animation can be combined with live-action footage, built on a campaign's visual identity, and finished alongside the rest of a production.

CAPABILITIES

What we deliver

  • Motion graphics

    Animated typography, icons and data that turn a message into something people watch to the end.

  • 2D animation

    Illustrated and character-led animation for explainers, advertising and storytelling.

  • 3D & product animation

    Products and environments modelled, lit and animated to show detail that photography can't reach.

  • Logo & title animation

    Logo reveals, idents and title sequences that give a brand or film a signature opening.

  • Animation with live action

    Graphics and animated elements composited into filmed footage.

OUR PROCESS

How we approach animation

  1. 01

    Script & concept

    The story or message is written first, because every later decision follows from it.

  2. 02

    Storyboard & style frames

    Key moments are drawn and designed so the look is agreed before animation starts.

  3. 03

    Animatic

    A timed rough cut with sound, used to lock pacing before the expensive work begins.

  4. 04

    Animation & rendering

    Scenes are animated, refined and rendered at full quality.

  5. 05

    Sound & delivery

    Music, sound design and voice are mixed, and the film is delivered in every format you need.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between 2D and 3D animation?

2D animation is drawn or designed on a flat plane — it suits illustrated stories, explainers and motion graphics. 3D animation builds objects and scenes as models that can be lit and viewed from any angle, which suits products, architecture and anything that needs realistic depth. Many projects mix the two.

How long does an animation project take?

It depends on the length, the style and how much has to be built from scratch. We give you a schedule with the quote, and the animatic stage is there so pacing and content are agreed before full production.

What do you need from us to get started?

The message you want to communicate, who it's for, where it will be shown and the length you have in mind. Brand guidelines, product references and any existing scripts are useful too.
