Sky over the city Autumn city avenue Looking up at facades Animator drawing in room Autumn horizon panorama

We paint the city
one frame at a time.

We make animated films the slow way: pencil first, paint second, software last.

Every sky is painted by hand in multi-plane layers.
秋の街

Small team.
Slow pencils.
Big skies.

Eleven artists who still start on paper. Every shot is painted in layers, so it can breathe, move and change without starting over.

Autumn city avenues drawn with charcoal & gouache.
秋の

Films, clips
and brand stories

From a fifteen-second loop to a seven-minute short, for musicians, brands and international animation festivals.

Handcrafted cinematography that commands undivided emotion.
見上

Every world begins
at the drawing desk.

Sunlight through the window, flutter of sketches on the wall, and the patient cadence of hand-drawn frames.

Studio sanctuary in Montreal & Tokyo.
