About Hatch Studios

Hatch Studios is an independent animation, motion graphics and visual effects production studio based in Toronto, Canada. Established in October 2006, it creates animated commercials, product visualizations, explainer videos and broadcast graphics for advertising agencies and direct clients. Its work combines visual storytelling with technical visualization, spanning consumer campaigns, entertainment titles and explanations of industrial processes.

Animation and production

The studio works across 3D animation, 2D animation, character animation, motion graphics, whiteboard animation and mixed media. Its capabilities include photorealistic product rendering, CAD visualization, digital compositing and animated branding. Projects range from short promotional pieces and corporate communications to training content, healthcare animation and technical demonstrations for technology, engineering and energy businesses.

Hatch offers production services from concept development and scriptwriting through storyboarding, design and animation. Its 3D workflow covers character modeling, texturing, rigging, lighting and rendering, followed by compositing, sound design and video editing. This production scope supports both stylized character work and detailed representations of products, machinery and environments.

Commercial and entertainment work

Commercial projects include Ford Canada's Thrillride campaign and vehicle renderings for the Ford Holodeck interactive showcase, alongside a branded animated commercial for Disney Children's Gummy Vitamins. Technical productions include a promotional demonstration for Autodesk Flame, satellite constellation visualization for Kepler Communications, and explanatory animation for Hydrostor's compressed air energy storage technology.

Its entertainment work includes the intro title animation for the Netflix Teletubbies reboot, title logos and animated assets for Jane and Builder Brothers Dream Factory with Sinking Ship Entertainment, and an animated series intro for Dino Dex.

The studio also produces public health, nonprofit and financial communications, including work for Ontario's Ministry of Health, the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada and EdgePoint Wealth. It serves international clients from its Toronto base, with a portfolio spanning advertising, broadcast, technology, healthcare, manufacturing and public-sector communications.
