Film, animation, games and AI engineering, in every medium.
Vertical short drama and social video built for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts — structured to hold the viewer inside the first three seconds.
Storytelling that carries the feeling of Japanese animation together with the lively 3D motion of a Pixar or Nintendo title.
Character design, 3D modelling, rigging and texturing for original IP — production-ready assets from day one.
Glows, particles, magic effects and fluid simulation — hybrid imagery built with Unreal Engine 5 and AI compositing.
In-house AI engines that sharply speed up creative workflows, and automated video generation tools built for client companies.
3D action, metaverse spaces and casual puzzle games in Unity and Unreal Engine — designed around how they feel to play.
High-value landing pages and corporate sites built with WebGL, Three.js and 3D interaction.
