Some ideas will not survive being filmed. A supply chain, a security threat model, a piece of legislation, a product that does not physically exist yet — point a camera at any of them and you get a person talking about it instead of the thing itself.
That is what we use animation for. We have built 2D and 3D work for Kinaxis, NAV CANADA, CIRA, BlackBerry QNX, BrainBox AI, eSentire and Ecopia AI — organisations whose subject matter is largely invisible, and whose audiences still need to understand it in ninety seconds.
Everything is made in house: concept, script, design, board, animation, sound. In English and in French.

AWARD-WINNING ANIMATION TRUSTED BY TOP COMPANIES AROUND THE WORLD
Some subjects cannot be filmed. A supply chain, a threat model, a piece of software, a product still in development. Animation is how those things become visible — and how an audience understands them in ninety seconds.
Who is it for?
Animation is for organisations whose product, process, or idea is complex, abstract, or impossible to point a camera at — and who still need an audience to understand it.

2D Animation and Motion Design
Frame-by-frame and vector animation for campaign work, explainer video, and brand storytelling — the fastest route from a complex idea to a clear one.
Shapes and objects can emote and be expressive through careful illustration and motion design. Emotive, simple, captivating storytelling is the magic of animated video.
3D Animation and Product Visualisation
3D unlocks an additional dimension — showing products, hardware, and environments that either do not exist yet or cannot be filmed.
Best for grand, dramatic, and complex ideas rendered in photoreal detail — as in our automotive and technology work.
Selected Animation Work
Our Animation Process
1. Creative Brief
First, we listen. We take vigorous notes and provide you what we think will be the best approach to your project.
2. Scripting
Once we’ve landed on a concept, we are off to the races with scriptwriting. We tailor each script to your desired tone, length, and audience — in English or French.
3. Storyboarding
After the approved script, our creative team gets to work on how the words on the page will transform into a visual narrative. Pacing problems get solved here, where a change costs minutes rather than days.
4. Illustration and Design
Our illustrators and designers begin work. No project is too complex, from background environments to full-body character illustration and 3D modelling.
5. Voice-over and Sound Design
Just the right voice can really make an impact on your audience. We sift through hundreds of voices — English and French — to find the right one for you. A powerful music score and sound design matter just as much, and we do not skip a beat. We create bespoke music and sound design tailored to your video.
6. Animation
Last, but not least, we go keyframe by keyframe, animating the illustrations and putting all the pieces together. For 3D this also includes render time — and we are not finished until you are happy.
Animation Studios Across Canada
Animation is not tied to a shoot location, so we produce for clients nationwide. Our teams work out of Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Halifax and New Brunswick.
We deliver in English and in French — script, voice, and on-screen type — which matters for federal, association, and national clients working to bilingual requirements.
Much of our work is under embargo before launch, so NDAs, secure review links, and controlled distribution are standard practice for us rather than an exception.
