EYEBOLLS

EYEBOLLS is an independent Edinburgh production studio working across animation, live action and visual effects. The studio develops and produces work for commercials, television, film and immersive entertainment, bringing creative development, production and post-production together from initial concept through final delivery.

Its practice spans traditional hand-drawn 2D animation, digital rigged animation, handcrafted stop-motion, 3D CGI and live-action/VFX integration. Projects can combine storyboarding, visual development, character and environment design, filming, animation, compositing, editing, colour grading and sound-design collaboration.

Creative production

EYEBOLLS adapts its technique to the needs of each project, assembling specialist teams of illustrators, riggers, model makers and compositors. Its production work includes character-led commercial campaigns, children’s television, short films, cultural animation and themed attractions.

The studio's credits include the Magic: The Gathering × Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™ official launch trailer, for which it served as creative and production partner across live action, hand-drawn animation and VFX; BBC and CBeebies' Musical Storyland; ScottishPower’s Bruce the Butterfly; UEFA × Disney’s Playmakers; and the RSNO project Ballet of the Blue.

EYEBOLLS has also created stop-motion work including Distance to the Moon and Ladder to You, alongside commercial, cultural and public-interest productions for organisations including VisitScotland, CHAS, Ardbeg and Baillie Gifford.

Immersive and visual storytelling

For The Legend of Luna, an immersive experience developed with BRC Imagination Arts and Great Wolf Entertainment, EYEBOLLS produced hand-drawn 2D animation and in-room visual effects. The work received a Thea Award from the Themed Entertainment Association.

Based in Edinburgh, the studio continues to deliver domestic and international projects across screen, advertising and experiential media.
