Flat Face Animation

Flat Face Animation is an independent British animation and visual effects studio based in Greater London. Founded by animator and director Ben Terry Imber, it began publishing character-driven CGI shorts online in May 2018 and incorporated in 2019. Its work combines original animated entertainment with commercial production for film, television, advertising, music videos and social platforms.

The studio’s original content focuses on humorous, expressive characters and short narratives, often bringing everyday objects to life. Its online output established an audience through YouTube and other social channels, with stories built around familiar situations, visual comedy and original characters. This independently produced animation forms a substantial part of the studio’s public identity alongside its commissioned work.

Animation and commercial production

Flat Face Animation offers production capabilities spanning character design, 3D modelling, texturing, rigging and animation through to visual effects, compositing and post-production. Its services include full-cycle character animation and visual effects production and supervision, supporting projects across entertainment and commercial media.

The studio works on both proprietary content and bespoke commissions. This combination connects its experience developing original characters and short-form stories with services for clients producing commercials, screen content and social campaigns. Its creative capabilities also include mascot development and motion graphics.

The company’s promotional material describes artists with previous experience on major international feature productions. Those individual backgrounds provide context for the team’s capabilities, while the studio’s own original animations remain distinct from productions credited to artists before or outside their work with the company.
