Animation studio in Rotterdam

We make complex innovation clear and convincing, from concept to render, all in-house.

A studio for complex innovation

Many animation studios make everything: from a corporate film to a soft drink commercial. We make a deliberate choice. Our studio specialises in complex innovation: technology, sustainable solutions and medical products that can't be explained in a single sentence. Where understanding, trust and decisions make the difference.

That fits how the studio came about. Founder Joris is an industrial design engineer. As a result, we understand the technology before we put it on screen, and we talk to your engineers and specialists on their level.

Small, specialised and everything in-house

We are not a production house with dozens of people, but a compact team that makes the work itself. So you talk to the people who actually make your animation, from the first conversation to the final render.

Concept, design, 3D, animation and rendering are all done in-house, on our own render farm. For film, sound, voice-over and websites, we work with regular partners. That way we keep quality in our own hands, while you still get everything your project needs.

Our approach: content first, then the images

We start with the content. We read up, ask questions and decide together with you what really needs to be explained, and to whom. Then we build up the story step by step, so the viewer doesn't drop off.

Only then do we create the images: clear, attractive and technically correct. We set it up so that you can also get stills, short versions and updates from a single production. You have one point of contact, review after every phase, and we work with a fixed price based on a clear scope.

What sets our animation studio apart

There are many animation studios. This is why clients with a complex story end up with us.

Specialist, not generalist

We focus on complex innovation: tech and sustainable innovation, health and medtech, and work for agencies. That is where we know our way around, and where our experience lies.

Who our studio works for

We work for organisations that need to explain something complex to investors, clients or their own people. Think, for example, of:

Tech and sustainable innovation. Energy transition, cleantech, agritech and new technology.

Health and medtech. Medical devices, pharma and healthcare, anatomically and technically accurate.

Industry and engineering. Machines, installations and processes, based on your CAD.

Start-ups and scale-ups. A story for investors, from prototype to launch.

Government and research. Policy and research made clear for decision-makers and the public.

Agencies and partners. As an animation partner under your name or as a named partner.

3D animation: from €10,000, 6 to 10 weeks

With multiple versions and deliverables: €12,500 to €20,000, 6 to 10 weeks

All prices are excluding VAT and are fixed, based on a clear scope. Want to see the prices of all types of animation side by side? Take a look at animation production.

How an enquiry works with us

You will hear from us within one working day. Usually with a few questions, because a budget that makes sense doesn't come from a single email.

After that there are two routes. If you need a number now, we give a rough estimate based on what you have sent us. If you have half an hour, we discuss the project and you then receive a well-founded scope with a matching budget. The second route gives a better answer, and often a different project than you had in mind.

In a hurry? Feel free to call. We do the same the other way round.

How our
animation studio works

Briefing

After your enquiry you will hear from us within one working day, usually with a few questions. Then we schedule an introduction. We focus straight away on the content and the context: what needs explaining, to whom, and where will the animation be used? Together we map out where the communication friction lies and which decision you want to speed up, whether that is sales, an investor presentation, onboarding or stakeholder communication. Based on that we make a proposal with a clear scope, timeline and budget, including options for reuse. Once approved, we get started.

Concept & storytelling

We translate the substance into a narrative: what does the viewer need to understand first, what comes next, and how do we build towards the core? This is the phase in which we do the most substantive sparring and lay the foundation for an animation that is logically structured. You receive a fully developed concept with core message, structure and tone of voice.

Kick-off

At the kick-off everyone involved sits at the table. We define the storyline, discuss the inspiration and ask each other questions: we about the content, you about the process. We agree the timeline, fix the feedback moments and agree who has a say and who bundles the feedback. That last agreement is the most important one of the whole project.

Storyboarding

The narrative is worked out visually in a storyboard. You see per scene what will appear on screen, how the structure flows and where the accents lie. This is the key moment to steer: changes here are fast and save costs further down the production.

Concept design

We develop the visual style: colour palette, atmosphere, level of detail and what the 3D models look like. This can range from hyper-realistic to abstract, depending on what suits the story and the brand. You receive style frames so you can see exactly which direction we are taking.

Production

The 3D scenes are built, animated and rendered. Because the substantive choices have already been made, this phase remains manageable and predictable. You receive interim previews, so we can adjust together if needed.

Sound

Music, sound effects and any voice-over are added. This largely determines the sense of professionalism and pacing. Good sound makes a significant difference in how an animation comes across and holds attention.

Release

The animation is delivered in the agreed formats and resolutions, ready for deployment. If agreed, we also deliver variants (stills, cutdowns, platform formats) and advise on the best deployment per channel.

What do we make in our studio?

3D and 2D animation. From photorealistic to illustrative, depending on what your story needs. Take a look at 3D animation production or 2D animation production.

Technical and medical. Machines, processes and medical technology that have to be accurate for specialists. Take a look at technical animation production or medical animation production.

Explaining and convincing. Explaining a process or idea, or convincing investors. Take a look at explainer animation production or pitch video production.
