"I started out in 1996, but the business very quickly took off and grew to where we are today, an internationally successful, bespoke CG animation studio in the heart of the Lancashire countryside,” explains Tony.

The expansion plans include bringing in more animators and digital artists.

“We would certainly like to expand into other areas now, especially within the broadcast industry,” he says. “It’s early stages at the moment, but we are in discussion with a major London production company about two projects that combine life-like CG animation with live footage. We’ve also got two very large games projects in production, although I can’t say too much about them at the moment,” he adds.

The company has just been named Facility of the Month by Northwest Vision and Media.
