our SERVICES

  • BRANDED CONTENT

    As a studio we’ve got an amazing track record of producing bespoke animations for brands that we know will work for the desired audience as well as the brands goals.

    Through collaboration, we will work with you to discuss your vision and then come back with a creative execution that we know will tick all the boxes for you and your audience.

  • BRAND INTEGRATIONS

    The simplest opportunity we offer for brands is to integrate into our existing content pipeline. We can integrate your company branding into one or more of our films, which means you will be connected to us and that story as it continues to grow across our social channels.

  • Distribution

    Making great animations is only half the job, getting it in front of the right audiences is what will make it sing. We’re experts in animation distribution online so can work with you to ensure it doesn’t just get tons of views but the right views.

    We can work with great external partners as well as Mashed so don’t hesitate to get in touch and chat further.

  • Original IP Development

    Developing original stories that connect with viewers is at the heart of everything we do. We use our unique experience and expertise to develop and craft characters and worlds that we know audiences will love.

    We are constantly working on new ideas but always love to hear from other writers, producers, directors or IP owners to discuss how we can work together. Get in touch and let’s chat!

Our process

  • Conversation

    It’s important to us to get to know you and your business before any work begins. So, we like to have a general chat with clients about what they’re thinking and what they’d like to achieve.

  • Brief

    What type of animation style would you like? What is your budget for this project? What goals would you like to achieve? All of these questions are answered at this stage.

  • Creative

    At this stage, we get to work, keeping in mind everything that has already been agreed upon. We jot down ideas, sketch out doodles, and let our creative juices flow!

  • Pre-Production

    During pre-production, we really start to visualise the end result, from storyboarding through to animatic. Scripts, voice over and music all go through a rigorous editing process to make sure they are of the highest quality.

  • Animation

    Our world-class team then get to work to bring this project to life! Our animators will work on all parts of animation: rough, clean-up, and colour, all the way through to compositing.

  • Post-Production

    The project isn’t complete until we’ve added some post-production touches like VFX and sound design. And then it’s time to consider distribution. Depending on the brief, that may include shorter clips for social media, as well as the complete clip.

  • "Collaborating with the talented folk at Spud Gun Studios was an absolute pleasure. Their passion for animation and comedy was clear from the start, and their unwavering commitment to understanding our vision and bringing it to life exceeded our expectations. They took the time to really understand the nuances of Baldur's Gate 3 and our community, and the work speaks for itself - we couldn't be happier."

    Senior Writer, Larian Studios

  • "I coordinated with Spud Gun Studios on several animated shorts for Baldur’s Gate 3 during my time as Larian’s director of PR & comms, and I found them delightful to work with. We’d provide a script, VO and character references, they’d come back with some edits, and then from concept to final cut there was very little need for back-and-forth -- they just get it. The videos were funny, very well-received by the audience, and achieved really solid viewership. I’d work with them again any time."

  • “What Spud Gun Studios made for us made me laugh out loud. It was awesome, man – f**king brilliant.”

    Mark Morris

    Director, Introversion Software

  • "The level of detail, understanding, and professionalism we experienced through our collaboration was so refreshing! As developers we know what makes cool games, but applying that to comedic cartoons is not something we had done before. Spud Gun Studios took the time to learn our game and what makes our community love Warframe, which meant a lot to us, and the final product reflected this care."
