Client Stories

Loved by Directors & Studios

The character animation team brought our protagonist to life in ways our internal team couldn't. Subtle, expressive, and on-model — every single shot.

Sarah Chen

Animation Director, Lumin Studios

We needed 14 hero rigs in three weeks. They delivered in two — and the quality matched what we'd seen from major Hollywood studios.

Marcus Rivera

Lead TD, Apex Game Studios

Their Bifrost simulation work for our ocean sequence was breathtaking. Saved us from blowing a six-figure budget on an external VFX vendor.

Aisha Okonkwo

VFX Supervisor, Horizon Pictures

Questions, Answered

How fast can you start a project?

Most projects kick off within 24–48 hours. After our discovery call we assemble the right artist or team and send a brief for sign-off the same day.

Do you sign NDAs?

Absolutely. Every team member signs strict NDAs and we operate on isolated project drives. Enterprise clients get a custom MSA tailored to their legal requirements.

What file formats can you deliver?

Native MA/MB scenes, FBX, Alembic, USD, OBJ, glTF, and any rendered output format you need (EXR, MOV, MP4, PNG sequences, etc.). Just tell us your pipeline and we'll match it.

Can I see daily progress?

Yes! We send dailies via Frame.io or your preferred review tool, hold weekly Zoom syncs, and you'll have direct Slack access to the team for instant feedback.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

We don't consider a project done until you love it. Pro and Enterprise plans include unlimited revisions, and if we still miss the mark, we'll refund any unused milestones.
