About Atomic Kid Studios
Atomic Kid Studios is an independent creative production and animation studio based in Milford, Connecticut. It creates commercial, branded and educational content for enterprise technology companies, consumer brands, entertainment businesses and nonprofit organizations. Its work spans animated explainers, product demonstrations, advertising campaigns, conference presentations and live-action video.
The studio brings together production, design and animation experience in a full-service practice. Projects can move from creative concept development and scriptwriting through production, editing, compositing, sound design and color grading. Its animation capabilities encompass 2D and 3D work, character design and rigging, motion graphics, title design and stop motion. Live-action direction and shooting complement these digital capabilities, allowing productions to combine filmed subjects with animated products, characters and environments.
Commercial storytelling and event visuals
Enterprise communication is a substantial part of the studio’s portfolio. Its work includes conference keynote visuals and animated opening packages for ServiceNow, a platform overview series for Databricks, infrastructure-focused animation for Broadcom and a multi-part claims and underwriting series for Verisk. These projects apply animation and motion design to software platforms, technical products and business services.
Consumer-facing productions include product demonstrations for Edgewell Personal Care brands and a Blue Buffalo Dental Chews launch campaign combining live-action dogs with photorealistic 3D product animation. Entertainment work includes LEGO stop-motion and promotional campaigns, alongside motion graphics for Major League Soccer’s broadcast and digital announcements.
The studio also produces educational animation, including the Young Academic Music titles Treble Leads the Class and Treble Catches the Rhythm Train, narrated by Herbie Hancock. Its broader client work extends into banking, pet care, toys, education and community organizations.
Atomic Kid Studios developed from its founders’ freelance production and animation work into a collaborative studio practice during 2014–2015. Its portfolio reflects a combination of digital animation, live-action filmmaking and practical production techniques, with projects ranging from individual product stories to coordinated presentation and video packages.
