Studio Research: Yorkshire Animation

As I am wanting to remain local for the time being, I've began to research Animation studios in the area.


Lunar Animation is a Sheffield based, high-end animation studio that specialises in full CGI and Visual Effects. I came across it because I saw an ad online for a position as a character animation, but soon discovered it would be to animate 3D Characters. Though the work they produce does look visually stunning, I don't think it is a company I'm going to apply for/would like to work for, as it presents no opportunity to work in 2D, which is ultimately what I want to do.




Big Zoo Media is a studio based in Batley, who offer a range of video production services, whether this be corporate video, animated video, internal communication or motion graphics. Producing corporate videos or advertisements isn't something I've really considered, but is definitely something I'd be open to. I really just want to make things move, and get experience to see what it is I like producing. They seem to be predominately 2D, and their style seems very... "After Effects Puppet/Cut Out" to me. Which is great! It is something I have experience in and enjoy producing.

This is another studio that seems absolutely perfect for me. It's close to home so I'd be able to commute to work/wouldn't have to move too far, produces good quality work that is in my area of expertise, and from their website I've got the impression that they'd be really nice, approachable people.
