Animamundi Studio

Animamundi Studio was a Malaysian visual-effects and 3D-animation company founded in May 2012 by Leong Chun Chong. Initially operating as a consulting and training hub, it developed into a commercial studio serving feature-film, television, animation and real-time production work, with operations in Malaysia and a regional production branch in Beijing.

The studio’s work focused on digital visual effects for Chinese mainland and international screen productions. Its capabilities included on-set VFX supervision, photorealistic lighting and compositing, digital matte painting, set extensions, crowd replication, chroma-key preparation, CGI asset integration, matchmoving and camera tracking. It also maintained 3D character-animation capabilities spanning modeling, rigging, skinning, keyframe animation, previs and storyboard planning.

Production capabilities

• Film and television VFX: compositing, environment integration, magical simulations, historical set extensions and crowd work.
• Character animation: 3D character pipelines, skeletal setup, rigging and hand-keyed animation.
• Game and real-time work: environment art, low- and high-polygon asset production, Unreal Engine lighting and shading, and technical-art consulting.

Among its documented screen credits are Once Upon a Time (2017), The Ferryman: Manjusaka (2018), Forever Young (2018), Hero's Dream and Zhaoge. The studio also developed the in-house CG feature and character project Sharp, The Bull and collaborated with New Zealand’s Huhu Studios on CG feature-animation development.

Between 2016 and 2018, the company expanded its creative leadership with VFX Director Gerald Lim and Animation Supervisor Kent Wong. Its production period coincided with work for theatrical releases and drama productions, as well as participation in regional digital-film initiatives.

Animamundi Studio later curtailed production following the completion of major film contracts around late 2018 and 2019. Its official domain was subsequently parked and later became unregistered; the company is documented as defunct as of 2026.
