We thought it was about time we’d introduce ourselves, and what better way to do so than to paint a self-portrait in this special episode of ‘Painting Backgrounds for Animation’?

Matte! Nande? Caricature
It took us 10 years, but we finally painted a caricature of ourselves ????
Tokyo Drinking Alley | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #17
This one is not really part of an animated film, but rather one shot we created to try and capture an feeling or memory. Something which brings you back to a moment or place. Maybe the end of a night of drinking too much in a drinking alley, one of things in Japan that are so much part of the city life. Hopefully you can transport yourself there for a brief moment, or even relate…
The Moon Landing | ‘Matte! Nande?’ (‘Wait! Why?’) Gags #03
Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah
The Moon
Festival News
Excited that the music video we created with Wan Qing Wang for Handsome Johnny is making it’s international festival debut at the Insomnia Animation Festival this month. So hop onto your scooter and get to Russia!
Anima 2019: Award & Review
We were very surprised and honored our animated short won the RTBF – La Trois Award at Anima 2019 this past weekend. Thanks to the festival and everyone who helped and supported us in creating this film!
Branchés Culture saw our film there, and wrote a little review in French. It roughly translates to:
“A superb project that addresses the problem of bullying among young people. Very nice drawings, a careful realization and a surprising fall make this project a great success. A movie to show to young and old alike.”
Next time you can catch our film will be next Saturday, at Athens Animfest.
School Benches | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #15
Episode XV! A film taking place at school naturally requires painting a lot of school benches.
Snowy Bench | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #14
While it may look simple, it proved quite difficult to paint compositions with snow. And though the result may look cold, this particular background was painted while it was 37°C outside.
New Animation Showreel
It’s been a while since our last one, so we cobbled together a showreel of our recent animation work. Enjoy!
