About Candoo Studios

Candoo Studios is an independent British animation and visualisation studio producing CGI, technical animation, corporate films and motion graphics. Its work combines detailed representations of products, machinery and built environments with visual storytelling for commercial communications. Based in West Sussex, the studio serves clients across transportation, aviation, engineering, technology, financial services and consumer products.

The studio’s 3D animation capabilities cover characters, architectural designs, industrial equipment, aircraft, automobiles and consumer goods. Its visualisation work includes photorealistic rendering, product illustration and technical component imagery, supporting both digital marketing and print. Architectural projects encompass pre-construction visualisation and interior and exterior rendering, while engineering and manufacturing work focuses on communicating products and technical subjects through still images and moving sequences.

Animation and film production

Projects can span the production process from script development, concepts and storyboards through modelling, texturing, lighting, compositing and final animation. Motion graphics work includes narrative explainers, financial communications and launch content, with visual design developed around the subject being communicated. The studio also creates specialised 3D assets for web and digital campaigns, including token launches and partnership visuals.

Alongside CGI production, Candoo Studios provides live-action filming with camera crews for corporate interviews and talking-head productions. Shoots can take place in a studio or on location, and live-action material can be integrated with animated and rendered elements. This combination allows the practice to support projects involving filmed contributors as well as visual explanations of products, services and technical processes.

Its portfolio spans automotive marketing imagery, motorcycle product illustrations, aircraft fleet visualisation, industrial machinery animation and investment explainers. The range reflects a practice working across both design-intensive physical products and subjects that benefit from narrative motion design. Beyond conventional commercial formats, the studio has produced 360-degree panoramic CGI environments, including Arctic and Ocean animated sequences.

The company was incorporated in England and Wales in December 2016. Its earlier commercial studio was in Leatherhead, Surrey, before its primary operating location moved to Angmering in West Sussex.
