About Animal Studios
Animal Studios is an independent Madrid-based animation, CGI and visual-effects production studio founded in 2006. Working across advertising, entertainment and interactive media, it creates 2D and 3D animation, visual development, motion graphics, CGI and composited visual-effects work for agencies, production companies, brands and broadcasters.
Creative capabilities
The studio’s production work spans the full development pipeline, from early concepts through final delivery:
- Character, creature and cut-out animation, including clean-up and in-betweening
- Concept art, character and environment design, storyboards, animatics, colour scripting and matte painting
- 3D asset and character modelling, texturing, shading, lighting and rigging
- Particle, fluid and atmospheric effects, crowd work and CGI integration
- Motion graphics, architectural visualisation, projection mapping, compositing and colour finishing
Animal Studios also produces branded content, commercial animation, audiovisual material for live events, and interactive 3D simulations. Its work serves advertising and digital campaigns, film and television, video games, corporate visualisation and public-interest communications.
Selected work
Its portfolio includes promotional CGI and VFX animation for Venom: The Last Dance, the Disney Marvel and Fundación Mutua Madrileña anti-bullying campaign Activa Tu Poder, character animation for Movistar Junior, and architectural CGI for Real Madrid C.F.’s trophy room. Additional credited work includes campaigns for Ecoembes and AECC, promotional material for Midnight, Texas, the short film Kibitzer, the game project Triskelion, and animated projection projects including España en un Lienzo and Sombras Tailandesas.
Production approach
The studio operates with a cloud-based remote production pipeline while maintaining a physical Madrid headquarters for its administrative operation. This flexible model enables it to assemble specialised teams of animators, riggers, modellers and VFX artists around the creative and technical needs of individual productions.
