A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before the
first frame.
Absolutely. We can help shape the premise, audience, visual direction, and first script before production begins. A focused pilot is a useful place to start.
Yes. We develop a visual direction around your story: expressive 2D, paper cutout, anime-inspired action, tactile characters, or minimal mascots. The samples here are original concept explorations.
Both. We can develop one character or short, or scope a repeatable series with a character bible, voice direction, production templates, and a release plan.
We can work with assets you own or have permission to use. For a new world, we develop original characters and agree the usage, deliverables, and ownership in the project scope.
It depends on the style, length, number of characters, revisions, and intended use. Send us a short brief and we will scope the work with you before production.
