animation production

There are hundreds of different film techniques grouped under the general heading of animation, and these techniques can be used to create comedy, drama, musicals, documentaries, abstract and experimental film.

Stop motion is probably one of the oldest and most recognised of the animation techniques. Small children are capable of making the most imaginative and telling stories using simple coloured plasticine and a digital camera. In the hands of a talented animation artist this technique can be used to make anything from children’s comic to dark and surreal explorations into human nature.

Animated short films can provide overwhelmingly emotional minutes of art, but can take overwhelmingly long months in production. It takes a very special type of artist to put the type of time and attention into creating these short art pieces that the craft deserves, and we enjoy working with these amazing people more than almost anything else that we do at thinkRED.
