About Dofala
Dofala is a South Korean 3D CGI animation and transmedia content studio founded in Seoul in February 2018. Its work combines character animation, original music and storytelling for children, preschool audiences and families. Alongside developing its own intellectual properties, the studio provides international co-production and animation production services for television, streaming platforms and feature films.
The studio's capabilities span character and environment modeling, rigging, animation, visualization and rendering. Music and audio are also part of its production offering, including original composition, soundtrack production, sound design, recording, voice-over direction and mixing. This combination supports projects that bring visual storytelling and musical performance together, including preschool entertainment and original musical CGI series.
Animation and interactive production
Dofala uses Unreal Engine in its real-time CGI production pipeline. Its work extends beyond linear animation into extended reality and mobile games, with services that convert digital assets for interactive applications. These capabilities connect its television production work with virtual reality, augmented reality and gaming content.
Its production network spans South Korea and Indonesia. The Indonesian operation was established in May 2020 to expand animation capacity and support simultaneous long-form projects. Dofala subsequently established its dedicated sound studio in March 2021, adding an in-house audio facility to complement its visual production pipeline.
Selected work
DinoPowers is a flagship animated action property, produced using real-time animation and broadcast on South Korea's KBS network. Its portfolio also includes Riseman, a superhero production combining live action and CGI, and Kuang the Little Dinosaur, a preschool musical and edutainment series.
Other productions include the musical CGI series Busking Star, the family sports comedy Ball Bear, and Battle of Jinju, a 17-minute stereoscopic historical animation short. The studio's broader work includes the extended reality project Spider-Man Yeouido and the KBS 2TV animated series Monster Top. Across its portfolio, Dofala works in broadcast animation, streaming entertainment and interactive content, with additional markets in character licensing, merchandising and toys.
