Prime Render Studios

Prime Render Studios is an independent animation and computer graphics studio based in Split, Croatia. Its work spans original animated films, commercial animation, visual effects and immersive digital experiences. Founded by brothers Veljko Popović and Milivoj Popović, the creative business emerged from the late-1990s demo group Trip and began operating as Lemonade3d around 2004–2005. The brothers incorporated the business in 2011 and adopted the public name Prime Render Studio / Prime Render Studios in 2019.

The studio develops and produces animated shorts and feature projects alongside commissioned work for advertising, television, corporate media and music videos. Its capabilities include character design, visual development, concept art, storyboarding, digital sculpting, asset creation and motion graphics. It also produces interactive narratives and VR/AR simulations, bringing animation expertise into immersive formats. International co-production forms part of its work across both established and developing projects.

Films and commissioned work

Its filmography includes She Who Measures, Dove Sei, Amor Mio, Father, Planemo, Cyclists and Žarko, You Will Spoil The Child!. These productions span computer-animated shorts, animated documentary and artwork-inspired storytelling. Cyclists draws inspiration from the work of Croatian artist Vasko Lipovac, while Dislocation extends the studio’s narrative animation into a VR experience.

Commercial work includes the official animated music video for AJR’s Maybe Man, directed by Edoardo Ranaboldo. The studio’s reported collaborations also include Netflix, CBS Entertainment, 20th Century Fox Television, Universal Music Group and Showtime.
