    Senior animation, 3D and creative direction for brands, agencies and studios. Bring us in for one project, or keep us on tap month to month.

    The problem

    1. 01

      The idea is approved. Now someone has to make it.

      Deadlines don't move because the film isn't done.

    2. 02

      Motion is five jobs.

      Concept, 3D, animation, edit and sound rarely live in one hire.

    3. 03

      One film becomes forty.

      A hero piece turns into cutdowns, loops, verticals and screens.

    4. 04

      Teams need a senior hand.

      Someone who takes the brief and runs, without being managed.

    How we fit

    We plug into the team you already have.

    We work the way your team already works: your Slack, your Teams, your Frame.io, your file structure. Your team keeps strategy, approvals and brand. We add senior direction and hands-on production, without another onboarding.

    1. Send the briefThe idea, the deadline, the assets you have.
    2. Plan and scheduleWe fill the gaps and confirm when it lands.
    3. Make and refineClear rounds of feedback, no surprises.
    4. Clean filesFinals and working files, organized and ready to reuse.

    Built for the long run

    The best work happens on the third project, not the first.

    One good film is nice. The real value is a partner who already knows your brand, your people and how you like things done. Over time we build a shorthand: briefs get shorter, first rounds land closer, and feedback takes a sentence instead of a meeting.

    • We learn the brand once.Type, colour, pacing, tone of voice, the things nobody wrote down.
    • We keep the files tidy.Templates, project files and motion systems that make the next job faster.
    • We remember the context.Who approves what, what worked last time, what to avoid.
    • We stay available.Retainer clients get priority, so the urgent request doesn't wait in line.

    “Geoff takes whatever idea I come to him with and makes it better. He's done so many beautiful pieces with me, and he's my first go-to. He'll come up with more than you were hoping for, on time and on budget. 10/10 would recommend.”

    “Geoff takes whatever idea I come to him with, and makes it better. He's a skilled artisan, and a talented artist to boot. He's done so many beautiful pieces with me, and he's my first go to. I'd recommend Geoff for anything you need doing; he'll come up with more than what you were hoping, he'll do it on time, and on budget. Plus, he's a great guy. Fun to spend time with. 10/10 would recommend.”

    The fit

    Good fit

    • You have a brand, product or story worth showing properly.
    • Someone on your side owns approvals and feedback.
    • The work comes back season after season.
    • You'd rather build a working relationship than brief someone new every time.

    Probably not

    • You need the cheapest frames possible.
    • You want unlimited requests for a flat fee.

    This isn't a faceless production queue. It's one senior maker who can design it, build it in 3D and cut the film.

    low on overhead.
    high on follow-through.
