About Spiders & Sparrows
Spiders & Sparrows is a Brooklyn-based creative production company working across live action, animation, motion design and visual effects. Its director-led approach brings together commercial filmmaking, design and digital production for advertising campaigns, broadcast identities and branded experiences. The company develops projects from concept through delivery, combining creative development with production and post-production.
Founded in New York in 2000 as Transistor Studios, the business built its practice around design-forward storytelling, character animation and live-action commercial production. It adopted the Spiders & Sparrows name in October 2025, continuing the studio’s work under a broader multidisciplinary production identity. The relaunch brought live-action directing, animation, experiential staging, photography and AI-assisted workflows together within its campaign offering.

The studio’s animation practice spans 2D cel animation, 3D CGI, character work and motion graphics. Its production services also encompass art direction, concept design, storyboarding, visual effects and compositing.

Beyond individual commercials, the company develops broadcast promos, show titles, network identity packages and digital content for out-of-home and experiential settings. Commercial and editorial photography, interactive brand installations, brand strategy and narrative development extend its work across different campaign formats. Its markets include television and entertainment, consumer technology, automotive, fashion, footwear, food and beverage.
