Elastic Pictures

Elastic Pictures is an independent animation, visual effects and post-production studio based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Founded in 2004, the boutique works with advertising agencies, television networks and commercial brands on national and regional campaigns, broadcast graphics, product visualizations and public-service motion design.

The studio combines visual storytelling with physically-driven motion design. Its capabilities span 2D and 3D character animation, technical animation, photorealistic product visualization, compositing, and fluid and particle simulations. This work serves both character-led advertising and projects that explain products, materials and technical features through animation.

Animation and post-production

Elastic Pictures offers creative concepting and visual development alongside animation, motion design and visual effects production. Its post-production services include commercial editorial and color grading, while its broadcast work includes graphics packages for television programming. The studio integrates traditional animation techniques with simulation tools and AI-assisted workflows.

Its commercial work reaches markets including consumer packaged goods, marine and watercraft manufacturing, state lotteries, banking and public agencies. Across these sectors, its output includes animated campaigns, technical product demonstrations and brand motion graphics.

Company history

Elastic Pictures expanded into London in 2014 through a UK operation that produced graphics and broadcast design for documentary and factual programming. The UK entity was dissolved in May 2017, and direct studio operations consolidated back to East Tennessee. The company continues to operate from Knoxville, where its animation, visual effects and post-production work is based.
