Blind Pig

Blind Pig was a British animation and motion design collective working across advertising, branded entertainment, television, film and experiential media. Founded in 2009 by Ric Comline as an animation counterpart to Absolute Post, it brought together animators, designers, illustrators and creative directors. The studio combined concept development and direction with production spanning hand-drawn animation, motion graphics and photorealistic computer-generated imagery.

Its work ranged from character-led commercials and title sequences to music videos, architectural projections and large-scale animated displays. Alongside traditional and digital 2D techniques, Blind Pig developed stylized and realistic 3D characters, integrated animation with live action, and incorporated creative artificial intelligence into its production workflows. Its commercial offering also extended to broadcast graphics and visual effects integration.

Selected work

For Gardaland’s 50th anniversary, Blind Pig helped transform the theme park’s mascot, Prezzemolo, into a 3D CG character, working with TBWA\Manchester and Chief. Other projects included the animated display for Disney and Formula 1’s Fuel the Magic showcase on the Las Vegas Sphere, and architectural projection mapping onto Walthamstow Town Hall for The Co-operative Bank.

The studio’s portfolio also included TopCashback’s Power of Joy Joy, Alzheimer’s Research UK’s Ode to the Brain, and campaign animation for the Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation. These projects encompassed commercial character work, conceptual animation, public-facing campaigns and experiential storytelling. Its broader collaborations included work for Nike, Apple, Google, IKEA, McDonald’s and the BBC.

Company history

Blind Pig developed its practice in London and maintained a historical office presence in New York. In November 2022, ENVY Group acquired both Blind Pig and Absolute Post, bringing their animation and post-production capabilities into a wider group.

Blind Pig ceased operations on 14 May 2026 following sustained industry pressures, rising operating costs and tighter production budgets. Its legal entity entered administration, bringing the studio’s commercial operations to an end.
