About us

Animation with character. Hello there, we are an animation and game development studio producing work packed with character! Put simply, we create characters and invent worlds in a way that truly engages audiences and raises smiles. We’re a creative-led animation production studio based in Bristol. And we’re here to help you connect, inform, and inspire through the power of 2D and 3D animation. For us, it’s about producing films that tells a story or brings an idea to life in an inspiring, charming and emotive way. For you, that means working closely (or as close as you want to) with an experienced team of directors, animators and designers, led by founders Dylan Shipley and Louis Jones. We support our in-house animation services with a network of tried, tested and highly capable partners in scriptwriting, sound production and voice over. Think of us as ‘full-service’, but without the full-service price tag. We work for all sorts of organisations. From broadcasters to retailers. From ad agencies to corporates. And from communications consultancies to production companies. And we’d love to work with you.

Whilst still following the theme of spring, we're sharing this wonderfully macabre piece by Lho Brockhoff! 💀 What they had to say about the work: "Not to out myself as a goth or anything, but I did make myself a springtime memento mori lock screen."

  • We're dedicating this #TBT to one of our favourite BBC Bitesize projects! A series of videos we created for our pals Cal and Bunny! 😎🐰🎶🌈 It was loads of fun making this music video about the many colours of the rainbow and the best ways remember them all. It's a catchy tune, innit? In fact, it's been stuck in our heads for YEARS. 😆 Here's a lovely top down comparison of the final animation vs. the animatic to showcase how we achieved the end product for our clients. More colourful, wonderful projects like this please! 🙏🤩💗

  • As part of our NOW PLAYING series, this month we're highlighting 9 of our favourite films, TV series, and games that revolve around springtime. 🌸 From titles on personal growth, self discovery, overcoming obstacles, to narratives involving the changing seasons; there's plenty to choose from if you're struggling to find something to watch! 🥰 The featured projects are: Amelie, Bambi, The Wicker Man, Princess Mononoke, Bee Movie, Columbus, Deduško Večerníček, Late Spring, and Wingspan.

  • We're back with more Bright Ideas! 💡 *crowd cheers, music swells in distance* In this video, we're focusing on opposing arcs. Do you ever encounter issues when it comes to your line of action whilst animating? Characters a bit too stiff, not expressive enough? Well, a simple trick is to just spice up how you flip those arcs. Start small, see how it works with the scene, the world and characters, or go EXTREME for maximum impact in a comedic gag or action sequence. This is just a teaser of what you can expect to learn in our upcoming Toon Boom courses as you delve into the software with the maestro Dan Keeble himself! Stay-tuned, we're just finalising those dates and will announce them soon! 💥

  • Happy Fan Art Friday! Time to celebrate the upcoming arrival of spring with this fabulous Magpie piece by Dan Keeble! 🐦⬛ We don't know about you folks, but we can't WAIT for the longer days. We can practically feel the sun's warmth, the wind as it rustles new leaves, and hear the dawn chorus of bird songs. 🤗☀️🙂↕️

  • Today's #TBT is action packed! For this project we had been approached to help create bespoke animation for a short independent film called Bruce. The summary: "In Liverpool's China Town, an out-of-shape and out-of-friends divorcee tries to reconnect with his estranged son by pretending to be the reincarnation of his hero, Bruce Lee." It was a dream come true getting to animate this 2D sequence, not to mention bringing one of our biggest inspirations to life. We only wish we could've done more! 💪💥

  • 🗣️ HOT OFF THE PRESS! 🔥 Last week Maddie + Triggs was nominated for a RTS West of England Award! We're chuffed, we're over the moon, we're smiling ear to ear! We know, we've said it a million, trillion times before... but we're so so so proud of our entire team! And HUGE congrats to our partners at Turnip + Duck! 🥳 The RTS West of England Awards will take place on Sunday 26th April at the Bristol Old Vic! Fingers, toes, and all appendages crossed! 🤞🙏

  • Happy Fan Art Friday! We've still got love on our minds, and wanted to showcase this adorable piece from Malene Kokholm Kristensen! "I recently drew me hugging my friends as a Birthday gift! 😁 Yes, we're dogs!" So, so, so, so, cute! What a perfect gift. Thank you Malene!
