Why we built it
The most memorable products have a character in them somewhere: the owl that nags you to practise, the ghost that says good night, the robot that shows you around on day one. Getting one used to mean commissioning an illustrator, then an animator, then asking for one more version every time a new screen needed a new motion.
We wanted the opposite workflow. Describe the character once. Approve a design you actually like. Then, whenever a new moment comes up, describe the motion and get a transparent clip back in a few minutes. That is what the studio does, and it is deliberately narrow: one character, animated well, delivered in files that work anywhere.
How we think about it
- Review before you spend. Nothing is animated until you have seen and approved the still design. Failed jobs refund themselves.
- Consistency over novelty. Approving a design locks it, so a character looks like the same character across fifty animations.
- Files, not lock-in. Every animation is exported as WebM, MOV, GIF, and MP4 that you download and keep. There is no player to embed and no plugin to install.
- Automation-friendly. Every account gets an MCP server, so an AI assistant can drive the same workflow you use in the browser.
What it is not
It is not a full animation suite. There is no timeline, rigging, or frame editing, and current clips are square loops of 4–12 seconds at 720p. If you need a two-minute cinematic, hire an animator; if you need a character that waves on your welcome screen by this afternoon, this is for you.
