About Munk Studios
Munk Studios is a British animation, visual effects and interactive software studio working across broadcast entertainment, advertising and education. Its practice combines 2D and 3D character animation with motion graphics, digital product design and immersive experiences. The studio brings visual storytelling and software engineering together, producing both screen-based content and applications that audiences can explore or use interactively.
Animation and visual effects
The studio provides commercial animation from character design and rigging through to finished motion graphics. Its broadcast work includes branded idents for Discovery Networks CEEMEA and Fox International Channels, alongside sponsorship animations featuring Captain Birds Eye for ITN Productions and Channel 4, broadcast alongside The Simpsons.
Educational storytelling is another part of its portfolio. Munk has produced animation for BBC Bitesize and BBC Teach, including Snoot & Fin and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Its wider animation work extends to promotional campaigns, music videos and television graphics.
For film and documentary projects, the studio contributes CGI, compositing, visual effects supervision and character rigging. Its work includes underwater predator sequences for Discovery Channel's Swimming with Monsters, lead CGI and visual effects for Matt McDermott's short film Gravity's Law, and creature rigging for Hellyfish. These projects span explanatory documentary imagery and effects integrated into live-action storytelling.
Interactive experiences and software
Alongside its animation practice, Munk develops virtual reality environments, interactive learning experiences and bespoke digital products. Educational applications include Solar Expedition VR, MiniBeasts VR and Wild Animals VR, while Glido's Voyage explores VR storytelling.
The studio's software work emphasizes user experience and scalable architecture. Its portfolio includes digital examination and assessment software for CABWI Awarding Body, as well as VR learning modules developed with Edg-VR. Its capabilities encompass interface design, custom web and mobile platforms, interactive training and cross-platform immersive applications, connecting its creative production work with practical educational and business uses.
