Milford

Milford Animation Studio is an independent 3D CGI animation and visual storytelling studio based in Stockholm, Sweden. Founded in 2002, it creates character-driven work for game publishers, agencies, production companies, and consumer brands, spanning narrative trailers, cinematics, commercial campaigns, launch visuals, and entertainment projects.

Narrative-led animation

The studio’s commercial work centres on giving established game worlds and characters a clear narrative voice. Its output includes pre-rendered game trailers, cut scenes, episodic content, stylized advertising, and cinematic key art for mobile, console, and PC releases. Milford has worked with partners including Supercell, Wooga, Futureplay, Small Giant Games, EA Games, Bandai Namco, Central Garden & Pet, Wolt, and Joom.

Selected projects include work for Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Brawl Stars, June’s Journey, Merge Gardens, Empires & Puzzles, EA Sports UFC 5, Secret Puzzle Society, and Pennington campaigns. For Hay Day, the studio created the first voiced 3D narrative trailer for the character Greg; for June’s Journey, it developed narrative launch trailers and a character-storytelling toolkit.

From concept to finished film

Milford provides creative development as well as production execution. Its services encompass creative direction, investor-pitch and script development, character and environment concepts, and previsualization. Production capabilities include 3D asset development, rigging and animation, lighting and compositing, sound design and music, post-production, and live-action integration.

Its specialist work includes character design and animation, CFX and physics simulations for hair, fur, cloth, and tissue, cinematic key art, and real-time production with Unreal Engine. The studio combines traditional high-end CGI production with real-time workflows to support both photorealistic and stylized visual approaches.

Milford also participates in animated feature development. It has partnered with Parka Pictures, Autour de Minuit, and Zooper Film on Yap Yap – The Secret Forest, contributing visual development and animation direction to the project.
