Aniverse

Aniverse is an international animation and visual-storytelling studio founded in 2017. Working across Istanbul and London, it combines traditional hand-drawn 2D cel animation with motion design, 3D elements, compositing, and mixed-media techniques for commercial campaigns and original narrative work.

The studio’s practice centers on expressive character performance, illustration-led visual development, and cinematic details such as natural light, texture, and fluid transitions. Its in-house multidisciplinary team brings together illustration, 2D animation, 3D generalist, compositing, and production capabilities to carry projects from early concepts and storyboards through final delivery.

Animation, Design & Campaign Production

Aniverse offers end-to-end production for animated films, commercials, title design, social content, out-of-home campaigns, and digital brand experiences. Its capabilities include:

• Traditional 2D cel and hand-drawn animation
• Motion graphics, title design, and mixed-media storytelling
• 2D and 3D animation integration
• Character design, environmental design, worldbuilding, and concept art
• Storyboarding, visual development, compositing, and art direction
• Advertising production and campaign visuals

Its work spans advertising, consumer brands, technology, telecommunications, automotive, sport, financial services, healthcare, and cultural organisations. Supported project credits include campaigns for Coca-Cola, Puma, Huawei, José Cuervo, Papa Johns UK, British Airways, Toyota, Sandoz, Algbra, and The Irish Independent.

Evolving Creative Practice

Alongside commercial work, Aniverse develops original in-house narrative intellectual property, including short films in anime-influenced and traditional 2D styles. The studio also operates AI-Verse, an internal production arm that applies generative visual tools within an artist-led animation and filmmaking process.

In 2024, Aniverse formed a strategic creative partnership with UK studio Covert. The collaboration combines Aniverse’s 2D and mixed-media approach with Covert’s 3D and VFX pipeline for transatlantic client campaigns, while the studios remain distinct businesses.
