The Studio

Our goal is to make the big and small topics of this world more accessible, understandable and humorous through animation.

How it started

The year is 2012: In the shadow of a tree on the campus of FH Joanneum, we make a decision that would change our lives in the long term: we are founding a company.

In the early years, production spans across the board - from motorsport documentaries to Facebook games, 3D animations and promotional films, all the way to interactive installations and moving content for apps and exhibitions.

Soon, a clear focus developed: animation.
In 2018, the decision was finally made to concentrate entirely on this area. Since then, we have produced animations exclusively – with the ambition of turning every idea into an extraordinary story.

This is what still drives us today. We are a well-coordinated team with a great passion for motion design.

We look forward to implementing exciting projects with clients from a wide variety of industries, and truthfully: we still have just as much joy in our work as on the very first day.
