Nexus Studios

Nexus Studios is an independent creative studio and production company working across animation, live-action filmmaking and immersive experience design. Founded in London in 2000, it develops work for brands, entertainment platforms and cultural experiences, combining character-led storytelling with technical production for screen, spatial and interactive formats.

Its animation practice spans 2D, 3D/CG, stop-motion and mixed-media direction, alongside live-action, visual effects, motion design and branded content.
