Character animations are a powerful entertainment tool with versatile applications. They are widely used in education, corporate training for adults, advertising, and also as brand mascots to reinforce branding.

Educational materials benefit greatly from this resource, as production is scalable and allows for a variety of creations, where the content comes to life and is presented in a clear and entertaining way. These animations demonstrate a unique ability to engage and inform, making them indispensable in a variety of contexts.

Character Family Creation

In animation projects, the first step is to create a “family of characters”. Once the aesthetics of the illustration have been defined, it is important to develop characters with ethnic, age and other characteristics diversity, whether they are human, robot, animal or object, as the need and imagination allows.

Voices, Scripts, Scenarios…

Defining original announcers and voices (commonly called voice actors) is important to maintain character cohesion.

Short scripts, with simple dialogues, and the choice of settings, scenes and contexts are also part of the construction of this type of content, since everything that appears on screen needs to be pre-selected/created.

These projects are carried out in scale and sequence and with regular deliveries.
